Libvirt is a popular API/tool for managing virtual machines (KVM/Qemu, LXC etc.) and stores its configuration in XML files. Thanks to the tool relpipe-in-xmltable we can get aggregated overview of our virtual machines. - This tool does similar job like the xmltable function known from SQL. - It uses the XPath language for selecting parts of the input XML – one XPath expression points to record nodes - and one or more XPath expressions point to attribute nodes/values relatively to particular record node. - Our tool is able to produce one or more relations from a single XML input. - The input is parsed at once and converted to DOM in memory i.e. no streaming – thus processing of huge XML files requires appropriate amounts of RAM, on the other hand: - our expression can access whole XML document and pick values not only from currently processed record node.
