I need to grab attributes from the XML file with pure bash script.
So I have the following XML file with a root element `Group` and lots of `Person` elements, every of them has `id` and `username` attributes. `id` is unique value for each element:
And I need to use bash script to extract the `id` and `username` attributes into some key-value structure:
Checked other related answers, but most of them suggest to use some XML parsers like xmllint. But unfortunately I do not have them on the target machine.
Can you kindly suggest what how I can achieve this. Thanks in advance.
I have an xml file:
<AutoData xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<Table1>
<Data1 10 </Data1>
<Data2 20 </Data2>
<Data3 40 </Data3>
<Table1>
</AutoData>
and I have to remove the portion xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" only.

XML::Easy::Element(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation XML::Easy::Element(3pm)NAME
XML::Easy::Element - abstract form of XML element
SYNOPSIS
use XML::Easy::Element;
$element = XML::Easy::Element->new("a",
{ href => "#there" }, $content);
$type_name = $element->type_name;
$attributes = $element->attributes;
$href = $element->attribute("href");
$content = $element->content_object;
DESCRIPTION
An object of this class represents an XML element, a node in the tree making up an XML document. This is in an abstract form, intended for
general manipulation. It is completely isolated from the textual representation of XML, and holds only the meaningful content of the
element. The data in an element object cannot be modified: different data requires the creation of a new object.
The properties of an XML element are of three kinds. Firstly, the element has exactly one type, which is referred to by a name. Secondly,
the element has a set of zero or more attributes. Each attribute consists of a name, which is unique among the attributes of the element,
and a value, which is a string of characters. Finally, the element has content, which is a sequence of zero or more characters and
(recursively) elements, interspersed in any fashion.
The element type name and attribute names all follow the XML syntax for names. This allows the use of a wide set of Unicode characters,
with some restrictions. Attribute values and character content can use almost all Unicode characters, with only a few characters (such as
most of the ASCII control characters) prohibited by the specification from being directly represented in XML.
This class is not meant to be subclassed. XML elements are unextendable, dumb data. Element objects are better processed using the
functions in XML::Easy::NodeBasics than using the methods of this class.
CONSTRUCTOR
XML::Easy::Element->new(TYPE_NAME, ATTRIBUTES, CONTENT)
Constructs and returns a new element object with the specified properties. TYPE_NAME must be a string. ATTRIBUTES must be a reference
to a hash in the same form that is returned by the accessor method "attributes" (below). CONTENT must be a reference to either an
XML::Easy::Content object or a twine array (see "Twine" in XML::Easy::NodeBasics). All are checked for validity, against the XML 1.0
specification, and the function "die"s if any are invalid.
METHODS
$element->type_name
Returns the element type name, as a string.
$element->attributes
Returns a reference to a hash encapsulating the element's attributes. In the hash, each key is an attribute name, and the
corresponding value is the attribute's value as a string.
The returned hash must not be subsequently modified. If possible, it will be marked as read-only in order to prevent modification. As
a side effect, the read-only-ness may make lookup of any non-existent attribute generate an exception rather than returning "undef".
$element->attribute(NAME)
Looks up a specific attribute of the element. The supplied NAME must be a string containing a valid attribute name. If there is an
attribute by that name then its value is returned, as a string. If there is no such attribute then "undef" is returned.
$element->content_object
Returns a reference to an XML::Easy::Content object encapsulating the element's content.
$element->content_twine
Returns a reference to a twine array (see "Twine" in XML::Easy::NodeBasics) listing the element's content.
The returned array must not be subsequently modified. If possible, it will be marked as read-only in order to prevent modification.
$element->content
Deprecated alias for the "content_twine" method.
