xml-analyser

A tool showing various statistics about element usage in an arbitrary XML file.

Usage:

xml-analyser example.xml

If example.xml looks like this:

<example>
  <foo>
    <bar a="1" b="2">
      <baz>This has text</baz>
    </bar>
  </foo>
  <foo>
    <bar a="1" b="2" c="3">
      <baz>More text here</baz>
    </bar>
    <baz d="1" />
  </foo>
</example>

xml-analyzer example.xml outputs this:

{
    "example": {
        "count": 1,
        "parent_counts": {},
        "attr_counts": {},
        "child_counts": {
            "foo": 2
        }
    },
    "foo": {
        "count": 2,
        "parent_counts": {
            "example": 2
        },
        "attr_counts": {},
        "child_counts": {
            "bar": 2,
            "baz": 1
        }
    },
    "bar": {
        "count": 2,
        "parent_counts": {
