XML Parser Script (Bash)

Description

This is a Bash script that allows you to read and write XML elements directly from the terminal.
It provides a simple menu-driven interface with two main operations:

• Read an element: Retrieve the value of a specific XML element from a file.
• Write an element: Add or update an XML element with a given value in a file.

Features

• Search for an element and display its value if it exists.
• Detect if an element is a parent element (without direct value).
• Update the value of an existing element.
• Add a new element before the root closing tag if it does not exist.
• Basic error handling (missing root, invalid option, etc.).
