Just dropping the tip here:

xmlstarlet is a great tool if you want to query xml on the commandline using xpath or do some xslt transformations.

Similar to jq's utility for processing json.

What’s great about xmlstarlet is you can do a quick and dirty ad-hoc transformation on the command line, and when that starts getting too elaborate, you can generate the equivalent XSLT and use it anywhere.
