    Does anyone know of a library that can be installed on AIX 7.2 that does XML parsing and work in BASH?

    You can use xmllint from the libxml2 rpm package.

    You can download and install libxml2 rpm package from the AIX Toolbox https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/aix-toolbox/alpha.html#L

    Lots of resources available in google on how to use xmllint in bash. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43870622/bash-extract-xml-attribute-value-using-xmllint

     

    Thanks,

    Ah, the joy of rpm dependencies

    if you have YUM or DNF, that may save you some time.

    Download those dependencies from your favorite repository.

    I'd recommend starting with ibm-toolbox, they've put in some effort to get everything updated.

    load all that you need into a single directory, and run rpm -ivh *

    then rinse and repeat with new dependencies that pop up
