[xpoTools][project] is a Powershell module contains advanced functions that splits one XPO file into separate XPO files and combines a set of interdependent XPO files into a single XPO file.

XPO file is a text file contains Microsoft Dynamics AX (Axapta) objects. See [tests/assets](tests/assets) folder for example.

*xpoTools* features:

* convert jobs and classes `xpo` to `xpp` files (similar to `ax7`)

* choose target folders structure by switch `pathStyle`: `Default`, `AOT`, `Flat`, `FlatAOT`, `Project`, `FlatProject`, `All` and `mazzy`

* define own target folders structure

* include and exclude files based on a file name. For example, to exclude `DEL_` objects

* filter AOT objects based on a text within XPO elements

* uses Encoding parameter
