χrusty

A command line interface for the χrust crate.

χrusty allows you to transform a document - XML, JSON, or Markdown - using an XSL stylesheet (XSLT) to produce a result document.

Installation

1. Install Rust
2. Clone the χrusty project from Gitlab

git clone https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Rust/markup-rs/xrusty.git

3. Use cargo to install χrusty

cd xrusty
cargo install --path .

This will install xrusty into $HOME/.cargo/bin. To install into a different location use the --root option, see cargo help install.

Usage

χrusty takes one or more documents and performs a series of operations on them. The result of processing is then sent to the standard output. The documents may be XML or Markdown.

The operations performed are specified with command line arguments. Two operations don't need to be explicitly specified: parsing the document and serialising the result.

The --help option displays the command usage:

xrusty --help

Usage: xrusty [OPTIONS] [DOCS]...

Arguments:
  [DOCS]...  Documents

Options:
  -t, --transform <TRANSFORM>  Transform source documents using a XSLT stylesheet
  -h, --help                   Print help
  -V, --version                Print version

For example:

xrusty --transform xsl/style.xsl xml/source.xml

This command will read the XML document xml/source.xml and transform it using the XSL stylesheet xsl/style.xsl. The result of the transformation will be output to stdout.
