Is XmlExtractor useful?

Hello,

I began working on the future release of Agnostep: see Roadmap at:
https://github.com/pcardona34/agnostep-desktop/blob/unstable/Documentation/ROADMAP_RELEASE_3.md

One new project is a native GNUstep EPUB reader. I began firstly this 
new project including libzip-dev and libxml2-dev headers (and the path 
issue of the latest was a head ache within debian)...

Then, in the GNUstep 'Library/Bundles' folder, I noticed several 
'*.extr' bundles, namely the 'XmlExtractor' one.

How it could be useful to parse epub (zip+xml) files to create a 
native GNUstep EPUB reader?
And so as I wonder if it could be a simpler way to do things.

Do you know an example of any app or any demo that implements this yet 
- any *.extr would matter?

Best regards,
Patrick
