Subject: Querying sexps a la XPath?
Date: Tue, 15 Dec 2009 13:21:54 -0800 (PST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <046d11bd-38a2-408d-9c80-9885d835ec8b@r1g2000vbn.googlegroups.com> (raw)

Hello,

I have to extract data from some nodes belonging an XML document. I've
found a way to navigate the document structure in the XML Parser
Examples page in EmacsWiki (http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/
XmlParserExamples).

However, I've often heard that sexps offer similar functionality as
XML. How would then you query a sexps structure?  AFAIK, there is no
library implementing something like SXPath in Emacs Lisp.

Thanks.
