    Thank you, Jürgen, for the pointer. The examples in that document seem
    to suggest that xmlgawk is used mainly for rearranging data (replacing
    tags by other text but leaving the actual data mostly as is) rather
    than *transforming* the data. Is this observation correct?

    Kind regards

      Perhaps a more suitable tool would be a SAX parser : you read the input
      XML and you write whatever suitable for your application. SAX parsers
      are available in every popular language and your own part would consist
      for example when you match the <temperatureele ment on buffering the
      text content, parse it as a float, and dump it. Most languages supply
      such basic tools and you just have to put them all together.

          No, transforming data is also possible. For example,
          I have written AWK scripts for doing linear regression
          (statistics) or a simple recursive-descent compiler.
          Just look at the other examples. For example the one
          that transforms an XML file into a graph drawing:

          XMLgawk is based on a SAX parser and handles each
          tag separately. If you prefer to work with a DOM
          parser (because you need access to the complete
          DOM tree), then XMLgawk is not as convenient as
          you might need a tool.
