Tell ONE terminal app you use everyday but no one seems know about the app
I use the heck out of xpe. It's a super simple command-line xpath parser using lxml in python.

htmlq - like jq, but for HTML
If you like xmllint, you might like xpe. It's more user-friendly.

Good find, thanks! I'll check if I prefer it to moar.

For this reason I have a zsh function in my .zshrc with bat (which pages by default, if it's longer than your console height):
