This library provides a thin convenience wrapper on top of
clojure.data.xml and clojure.data.zip.xml.
Zippers are great, but they're kind of confusing, especially if you practice print-line debugging. Dumping a zipper of a large XML document to your console is... well, to put it mildly, dissatisfying. In addition, since zippers are represented with a Clojure vector, it can be hard to tell when you have a zipper in hand if you're not familiar with this detail of their representation.
Enter wrest-xml (pronounced "wrestle" - because I can and working with
XML always feels like wrestling to me). Provides what I think are more
expressive names for some common use-cases of the xml-> and xml1->
fns and (eventually) a shim record so you can treat zippers as opaque
data-structures. This way when your coworker picks up the project in 3
months and in an effort to figure out what's going on with your code
throws in some printlns they don't then try to directly extract the
data they want from the zipper...
