# XmlCleaner

Cleans XML files (in place), by removing all elements (and their children), that have a specific attribute with a value matching the given pattern.

Formatting of the files is kept/unchanged.

## Build

	mvn clean install

## Usage

	Usage: java -jar xmlcleaner-*-jar-with-dependencies.jar [options] files/directories

	  Options:

	    --attribute, -a

	      XML attribute name.

	      Default: rev

	    --attribute-only, -ao

	      Remove only matched attribute (instead of complete node/element).

	      Default: false

	    --help

	      Display usage.

	    --matcher, -m

	      Attribute value matcher (regex).

	      Default: 1[45]\.\d+(?:\.\d+)?d.*

## Known issues

1. Might remove last `
` without removing parent `
`. Results in invalid XML.

2. Might remove child objects, where the parent element is not valid (w.r.t XML schema) without this child. This is the generalization of #1.
