Xidel is a command line tool to download html/xml pages and extract data from them using CSS 3 selectors, XPath 3 expressions or pattern-matching templates.

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XQuery – I am “watching” the changes on this article, and somebody just added Xidel, that’s how I came across Xidel
- Cygwin’s and Fink’s repository do not have Xidel, but Xidel’s home page (see above!) points you to its download area on sourceforge, where you can find binaries for all the relevant platforms
I wonder, whether I can use it just like xmlstarlet.
