Navigation feature for JSON/XML/HTML based on path (imenu like)

This package is a imenu like feature for JSON, XML/HTML files. It let you jump to line in the file based on the xpath for HTML files and JSON structure.

demo

Example :

Install

(require 'x-path-walker)

Requirement for python

• the lxml libraries (both python package and the C libraries) are neewd if you’re looking into HTML/XML.

The preferred way to install this dependency is by your system’s package manager. However you can try your luck with:

pip install lxml (--user)

usage

Currently only Helm front end is implemented (and python backend). Once you are in a [HX]ML or JSON buffer:

M-x helm-x-path-walker

todo

• YAML backend
  • Currently the PyYAML package for python does not keep the original layout of the data (as it goes to a dictionary)
• This package first started with the jq backend for JSON. But the python version is more efficient. It could be made optional though.
