Abstract
We present a visual tool based in XQuery for querying and exploring XML documents. The tool is based in a simple but effective visual metaphor and a results visualization technique based in fisheye Trees. The application fulfills the expectations of facilitating the manipulation of XML documents for inexperienced users, offering original interaction features, improving upon similar work. As XML is one of the main metalanguages of the Web, this tool may have a broad impact.
