  Command-line YAML, XML, TOML processor - jq wrapper for YAML/XML/TOML documents (by kislyuk)

There is also yq [1], which attempts the same for yaml, toml and xml. (And confusingly also contains a binary named "xq" for querying xml, however with a different syntax)

  🐰 An interpreted language written in Go - XPath 3.1 implementation for HTML

It seems to be a problem with that backing xmlquery library, and I did a quick GitHub topics search and found https://github.com/zzossig/rabbit which claimed to be XPath 3, but then https://github.com/zzossig/rabbit#what-is-not-supported says "lol, namespaces, wat?" so :-(

  🍻 Default formulae for the missing package manager for macOS (or Linux)

  

Yeah, 234 forks is not a good look, but that said `brew install -s pup` with `go version go1.19.3 darwin/amd64` reports a-ok so I'd guess it just doesn't have a `go.mod` like normal go developers are used to, and that's why the brew formula moves it into the old style GOPATH setup: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/HEAD/Formula/...
