Go based xml manipulation library

[Tong Sun]

Is there any Go library that allow certain following-sibling manipulation?

Specifically, I want to,

• locate an xml node via XPath
• delete its following-sibling

More or less like this, http://zvon.org/comp/r/tut-XPath_1.html#Pages~Following-sibling_axis, but to delete the node, instead of just locating it.

thx

github.com/beevik/etree does much of what you're looking for.

Thanks Steve, 

That's what I thought, but on taking a closer look, especially the getting to the `following-sibling` part, I didn't find any API that I can make use of out of the box. Hence --

https://github.com/beevik/etree/issues/99

Could you elaborate on how to get to the `following-sibling` part of a given element for etree please? Using http://zvon.org/comp/r/tut-XPath_1.html#Pages~Following-sibling_axis as the example, in either place will do. thx

You can try https://github.com/santhosh-tekuri/xpath. it uses https://github.com/santhosh-tekuri/xpath as model.

BTW, I am author of the above projects

Thank you Santhosh!

Can the https://github.com/santhosh-tekuri/xpath model edit or delete
elements, apart from locating them?
If so, are there any ready-made examples/blogs etc that I can refer to?

Thx!

the dom model, currently only provides Append method.

but the all members of model are exported. so it should

be possible to write delete by removing node from slice and

setting its parent to null.
