Introduction ↟

lxml, or as it is better known, Professor El Xavier Emile (A.K.A "El X. Emile"), is a wrapper for the Erlang community's erlsom library, providing the following additional features:

1. Lispy naming conventions via LFE and kla, and
2. Utility functions for easily accessing parsed XML data (e.g., map, get-in, get-linked, &c.).

Both of these are discussed more in the lxml docs (see below for the link).

Installation ↟

Just add it to your rebar.config deps:

  {deps, [
    ...
    {lxml, ".*", {git, "[email protected]:oubiwann/lxml.git", "master"}},
    ...]}.

Or, if you use lfe.config:

#(project (#(deps (#("oubiwann/lxml" "master")))))

And then do the usual:

    $ make compile
