  # NAME
  
  XML::Query - jQuery-like node selecting and traversing for XML
  
  # SYNOPSIS
  
  ```
  use XML::Query;
  
  ## Given $xml is an XML::Document or XML::Element object.
  my $xq = XML::Query.new($xml);
  my @boxes = $xq('input[type="radio"]').not('[disabled="disabled"]').elements;
  my $first-link = $xq('a').first.element; 
  my $by-id = $xq('#header').element;
  my $last-decr-class = $xq('.decr').last.element;
  
  ```
  
  # DESCRIPTION
  
  XML::Query is a jQuery-like XML query engine for Raku. It works with the [XML](https://github.com/raku-community-modules/XML) library to provide a flexible and easy method of querying for specific XML/XHTML nodes.
  
  Unlike jQuery, `XML::Query` is for querying and travsersing XML structures only, and does not support direct manipulation of XML data (however you can use the features inherent to the XML library to manipulate the data.)
  
  # STATUS
  
  This is a work in progress. It doesn't support many methods or selectors yet, and there is no documentation. See the tests in the "t/" folder for examples of what does work so far.
