Quite some time ago I wrote about using xsltproc to process xml on the command line. Thank fully someone pointed out XMLStarlet.  I now use XMLStarlet almost every day.  I work with a variety of REST based API’s gather information. XMLStartlet along with a simple for loop or xargs gives you an exceedingly powerful set of tools.

Here is a quick introduction into the power of XMLStarlet. This is just a teaser as I cannot share the data I work with. However, you should be able to see the power of this tool.
