xq

Automatically indents and colorizes XML/HTML output in the terminal, improving readability for debugging and inspection, as shown in the screenshot and usage examples with the -i flag for in-place edits.

Supports both XPath queries and CSS selectors for extracting text, attributes, or nodes, allowing versatile data retrieval from markup files, demonstrated with examples like 'xq -x //city' or '-q "body > p"'.

Converts XML documents to structured JSON with preserved hierarchy and attributes using the -j flag, facilitating integration with JSON-based tools and pipelines, as detailed in the output format description.

Designed for composability with stdin/stdout, enabling seamless use in command-line workflows, such as piping curl output directly into xq for formatting or extraction.
