The #DNBLab Workshop at #DHd2026 hammers home the importance of #XML. Yes, one can read and parse catalogue data provided through SRU with #Python but one still has to be familiar with #XPath to do anything meaningful.
The pain of MARC fields, tags, and codes remains … on to the MARC manual and […]

2nd update: I also figured out how to apply the new-ish JSON transformations of #XSLT 3 and #XPath 3.1 to parse the encapsulated #MarcXML
Honestly, I just do this for dissecting #Markdown in #PowerShell these days:
~~~PowerShell
[xml]"<x>(ConvertFrom-Markdown -inputobject $markdown)</x>"
~~~
Once it's #XML, I can query with #XPath, and it's off to the races.

Next up in this interlocking series of updates for my #FLOSS data processing & #GenAI workflow projects: Amara. Around since the mid 2000s in various iterations, it's been re-consolidated & updated. URL/URI/IRI, #XML, #XPath etc.

Don't forget Get-WinEvent - Use a bit of #PowerShell and #XPath to get _exactly_ what happened out of the rich event logs.
When all hope seems lost, never forget: uBlockOrigin supports XPath.

Did you know #XPath 3 (2016) is a Turing-complete functional and declarative language? As are #XSLT 3 (which uses XPath and #XQuery which extends it). And #XProc 3 is a data flow language that also uses XPath.
These are widely used, powerful, efficient, and super pointy.

I still use #XSLT from time to time. Still got it! IMO, #XPath is more intuitive than #JMESPath or jq and I have to use those grammars weekly. Still need to consult docs often.
The fact that XPath has support to serialize to JSON opens up a lot of amazing opportunities

This paper has presented a general automated testing approach for detecting XPath-related logic bugs in XML processors. #xpath
We are aware of only one automated testing approach that has been proposed to test XML processors #xpath
We considered the only two—to the best of our knowledge—approaches to generate XPath expressions. #xpath
In this section, we show XPress’ effectiveness through the number of bugs found, developer feedback, and illustrative examples. #xpath
In the evaluation, we sought to investigate whether our technique is effective and efficient in finding bugs for XPath expression processors. #xpath
Differential testing enables us to find both logic bugs as well as internal errors when comparing the results of XML processors implementing the same XPath stan #xpath
As shown, for the query on the document, BaseX returned an empty result, while both Saxon and eXist returned all three Book nodes. #xpath

Had to write some XPath query today. I kinda hate that it always takes me 15 minutes to reacquaint with the syntax, but I love the feeling when I get it to do exactly what I wanted
