Hi folks,
do you know of a lib that let's you navigate around nested Clojure structures like XPATH does on XML?
I'm aware of core.match, walk and zippers. But has anyone put those together in order to produce an API
that gives you XPATH/XSLT?

Maybe clojure.data.zip.xml (in clojure.data.zip) is close to what you're looking for? http://clojure.github.io/data.zip/#clojure.data.zip.xml

This seems to work on XML/JDOM - right?
I'm looking for something that works on Clojure data structures. And I wouldn't like to go from Clojure data structures->XML/JDOM only to do the transformation on XML/JDOM and then back to Clojure data structures.
Any idea?

Sorry, please ignore me. I misread your post entirely :-). I think clojure.zip and clojure.data.zip (not the XML parts) will get you partway to where you want, but I do not know of any XPATH-like API over the top of them.

Interesting idea... Haven't seen anything myself. I think that would be useful though! Someone should build it if it doesn't exist yet.

I have written a library that wraps the built in JDK XPath functionality. It's not complete, because it doesn't deal with namespaces or custom functions. Regardless, it worked for what I needed it for. If you need a certain feature, I'd be happy to work it in or accept patches.

Thanks. But I'm looking for something that may
(a) clojure.walk a clojure data structure
(b) let me use clojure.match rules to say what I'm interested in (like xpath does) and
(c) use zippers to 'mutate'.

instar and balagan are two libs that are in this space. ive been looking for something like youre describing as well - i think something like xslt would be wondrous.

Hi
Looks like the latest announcement from Nathan Marz (specter) may be of use 😀
