.Sh NAME
.Nm xo
.Nd emit formatted output based on format string and arguments
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl options
.Op Ar argument...
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
utility allows command line access to the functionality of
the
.Nm libxo
library.
Using
.Nm ,
shell scripts can emit
.Em XML ,
.Em JSON ,
or
.Em HTML
using the same commands that emit text output.
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Ic --close Ar path
Close tags for the given path
.It Ic --depth Ar num
Set the depth for pretty printing
.It Ic --help
Display help text
.It Ic -H | Ic --html
Generate HTML output
.It Ic -J | Ic --json
Generate JSON output
.It Ic --leading-xpath Ar path
Add a prefix to generated XPaths (HTML)
.It Ic --open Ar path
Open tags for the given path
.It Ic -p | Ic --pretty
Make 'pretty' output (add indent, newlines)
.It Ic --style Ar style
Generate given style (xml, json, text, html)
.It Ic -T | Ic --text
Generate text output (the default style)
.It Ic --version
Display version information
.It Ic -W | Ic --warn
Display warnings in text on stderr
.It Ic --warn-xml
Display warnings in xml on stdout
.It Ic --wrap Ar path
Wrap output in a set of containers
.It Ic -X | Ic --xml
Generate XML output
.It Ic --xpath
Add XPath data to HTML output
.El
.Pp
The
.Nm
utility accepts a format string suitable for
.Xr xo_emit 3
and a set of zero or more arguments used to supply data for that string.
.Pp
In addition,
.Nm
accepts any of the
.Nm libxo
options listed in
.Xr xo_options 7 .
.Sh EXAMPLES
In this example,
.Nm
is used to emit the same data encoded in text and then in XML by
adding the "-p" (pretty) and "-X" (XML output) flags:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
% xo 'The {:product} is {:status}\\n' stereo "in route"
The stereo is in route
% xo -p -X 'The {:product} is {:status}\\n' stereo "in route"
<product>stereo</product>
<status>in route</status>
.Ed
.Pp
In this example, the output from a
.Nm
command is shown in several styles:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
xo "The {k:name} weighs {:weight/%d} pounds.\\n" fish 6
.Pp
TEXT:
The fish weighs 6 pounds.
XML:
<name>fish</name>
<weight>6</weight>
JSON:
"name": "fish",
"weight": 6
HTML:
<div class="line">
<div class="text">The </div>
<div class="data" data-tag="name">fish</div>
<div class="text"> weighs </div>
<div class="data" data-tag="weight">6</div>
<div class="text"> pounds.</div>
</div>
.Ed
.Pp
The
.Fl "-wrap <path>"
option can be used to wrap emitted content in a
specific hierarchy.
The path is a set of hierarchical names separated
by the '/' character.
.Bd -literal -offset indent
xo --wrap top/a/b/c '{:tag}' value
.Pp
XML:
<top>
<a>
<b>
<c>
<tag>value</tag>
</c>
</b>
</a>
</top>
JSON:
"top": {
"a": {
"b": {
"c": {
"tag": "value"
}
}
}
}
.Ed
.Pp
The
.Fl "\-open <path>"
and
.Fl "\-close <path>"
can be used to emit
hierarchical information without the matching close and open
tag.
This allows a shell script to emit open tags, data, and
then close tags.
The
.Fl \-depth
option may be used to set the
depth for indentation.
The
.Fl "\-leading-xpath"
may be used to
prepend data to the XPath values used for HTML output style.
.Bd -literal -offset indent
#!/bin/sh
xo --open top/data
xo --depth 2 '{tag}' value
xo --close top/data
.Pp
XML:
<top>
<data>
<tag>value</tag>
</data>
</top>
JSON:
"top": {
"data": {
"tag": "value"
}
}
