DESCRIPTION

This program provides a simple graphical user interface (GUI) for executing XPath queries
and seeing their results.

The GUI tries to provide all the elements that are needed in order to write, test and
execute XPath queries without too many troubles. It displays the Document Object Model
(DOM) and the namespaces used. The program registers the namespaces automatically and each
element is displayed with its associated namespaces. All is performed with the idea of
being able of running an XPath query as soon as possible without having to fight with the
document's namespaces and by seeing automatically under which namespace each element is.

This program is not an XML editor, at least not at this point, it's meant to be used for
constructing and executing XPath queries.

RATIONALE

The main idea behind this application is to provide a simple way for building XPath
queries that will be latter integrated in to a program or XSLT transformation paths.
Therefore, this program goal is to load an XML document and to display it as an XML parser
sees it. Thus each node element is prefixed with its namespace.

IMPLEMENTATION

This program uses XML::LibXML (libxml2) for all XML manipulations and Gtk2 for the
graphical interface.

LIMITATIONS

For the moment, the program focuses only on XPath and doesn't allow the XML document to be
edited.
