Thanks for looking into this issue. I am not sure, whether this is the right forum to post this thread. If not, let me know the right forum to post this thread.

We have a complex XML Message (data in XML format). We are exploring a way to extract all the XPATHs of this XML message and its element/attribute level data content. We tried with XMLSPY, & xmltwig, but no luck. Xml_grep pulls data, if we give XPATH input. There is no option in xml_grep to browse all XPATHS of a XML message.

I have well-formed XML message. I want to produce a list/report as

1) All Xpath of XML message (Browse all XPATH and list of XML message)

2) Xpath , data content for this XPATH (Browse all XPATH, data content and list both of XML message)

Here is an example (Input XML Message) 

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<PARTS>
<TITLE>Computer Parts</TITLE>
<PART>
<ITEM>Motherboard</ITEM>
<MANUFACTURER>ASUS</MANUFACTURER>
<MODEL>P3B-F</MODEL>
<COST> 123.00</COST>
</PART>
<PART>
<ITEM>Video Card</ITEM>
<MANUFACTURER>ATI</MANUFACTURER>
<MODEL>All-in-Wonder Pro</MODEL>
<COST> 160.00</COST>
</PART>
<PART>
<ITEM>Sound Card</ITEM>
<MANUFACTURER>Creative Labs</MANUFACTURER>
<MODEL>Sound Blaster Live</MODEL>
<COST> 80.00</COST>
</PART>
<PART>
<ITEM>inch Monitor</ITEM>
<MANUFACTURER>LG Electronics</MANUFACTURER>
<MODEL> 995E</MODEL>
<COST> 290.00</COST>
</PART>
</PARTS>

The desired output --> I created the following XML list manually 
/PARTS/TITLE Computer       Parts
/PARTS/PART[1]/ITEM         Motherboard
/PARTS/PART[1]/MANUFACTURER ASUS
/PARTS/PART[1]/MODEL        P3B-F
/PARTS/PART[1]/COST         123.00
/PARTS/PART[2]/ITEM         Video Card
/PARTS/PART[2]/MANUFACTURER ATI

Are there any open source product to produce such report for XML Message?

What are the ways to extract XPATHs/XPATH, data content?

Thanks for allowing to pick the brain of this forum.
