Description

We need an XPath parser of some sort that can be attached to any protocol (e.g. HTTP).

I did a video demonstration showing a possible interface for the XML parser, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0C23ffVWvkM This was done with older code, and was just a proof of concept

But maybe this is a jumping off point for a better idea?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Watch the linked video demonstration for a possible interface, then examine the existing codebase to understand how protocols (e.g., HTTP) are handled, and propose a design for an XPath parser that can be attached to any protocol.
