Description
A minimal xpath 1.0 parser has been implemented within the JANA framework that
allows easy access to attributes or tags in an XML document. The motivating
implmentation was to access geometry information from XML files in
the HDDS specification (derived from ATLAS's AGDD). The system allows
components in the reconstruction package to pick out individual numbers
from a collection of XML files with a single line of C++ code. The
xpath parsing aspect of JANA will be presented along with examples
of both its use and specific tasks where its use would be beneficial.
