QuXmlA -- Quick Xml Analyzer

This script produces simple stats about tag paths in the given XML files:

• the total occurance of a tag path
• the minimum number it appears in the parent tag path
• the maximum number it appears in the parent tag path

Tag paths are tag names prefixed by parent tag names, e.g.: /html/head/title

Usage

$ python quxmla.py FILE [FILE] [FILE] ...

Example output

This is an output from parsing a couple of Project Gutenberg book RDF files (example).
