XPath 3.0 tool for Windows that can search in all XML files in a directory

Question

Which tools can I use on Windows to search XML files using XPath 3.0 or above, specifying a root directory, rather than individual files?

Answer 1

Saxon can do this. If you want it interactive, try the Gizmo tool. Example:

>SaxonEE12-2J % java -cp saxon-ee-12.2.jar net.sf.saxon.Gizmo
Saxon Gizmo 12.2
