OpinionatedGeek XmlTools is a collection of command-line tools for manipulating XML files. Yeah, there are lots of GUI programs out there for working with XML, but sometimes you can't beat the command-line.

XmlTools consists of three utilities:

• XmlPatch is a command-line batch editor for XML files.  It takes any valid XML file, and applies commands from a 'patch' XML file to add new elements, remove existing ones, or modify attributes. This is useful for things like automated installers, where you have to apply specific changes to XML configuration files.

• XmlTransform applies XSL transformations to XML files to generate a new (possibly-XML) file.

• XmlValidate performs schema validation on an XML file against one or more schemas.
