xml2 / 2xml

Convert XML to a flat, line-oriented format for shell pipeline processing, and reconstruct XML with 2xml.

Prerequisite Check

Run this before proposing flat XML workflows:

command -v xml2 >/dev/null 2>&1 && command -v 2xml >/dev/null 2>&1

If xml2 or 2xml is missing, surface that first and either run scripts/install.sh or scripts/install.ps1, or fall back to xmllint or xq when the task can stay XML-aware instead of line-oriented.
