Subject: [xsl] XPath Explorer From: alex@xxxxxxxxx Date: Fri, 19 Apr 2002 14:40:39 -0700 |
XPath Explorer (XPE) is a free, open-source GUI application that lets you interactively experiment with XPath. Basically, you type in a URL (to an XML or HTML document) and an XPath expression, and it displays the elements or attributes from that document which match that expression. It also displays the value (string, number, or boolean) of the expression, and (in a stunning coup de grace) displays the entire XML tree of the original document, but with the matching nodes highlighted in bold. This makes it easy to play with and debug your XPath expresions. Please check it out (screenshots, docs, download) at http://www.purpletech.com/xpe/ It requires a Java 2 VM (download one from Sun or IBM if you don't have one already). I'm especially interested in getting this group to play with it, since you guys understand XPath a heck of a lot better than I do, and you actually use it more often (I've been using XPath to test Web pages, but I'm not a big XSL user). I'm hoping you'll find flaws and either fix them, or tell me exactly how to fix them. Please suggest features, bugs, etc. to me directly. To stay abreast of new versions, keep checking this list, or send mail to purple-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Later - - Alex P.S. Note: one of the bugs is 'Generates paths using "//" and the XSL gurus say "never use //"' but I'm not sure how to resolve it... -- Alex Chaffee mailto:alex@xxxxxxxxx jGuru - Java News and FAQs http://www.jguru.com/alex/ Creator of Gamelan http://www.gamelan.com/ Founder of Purple Technology http://www.purpletech.com/ Curator of Stinky Art Collective http://www.stinky.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
