Saxon can be + integrated with Java applications using the JAXP API, which means it is + possible for a Java application to switch between different XSLT processors + without changing the application code. As well as conforming closely with the + XSLT 2.0 specification, Saxon offers a number of powerful extensions. +- An XPath 2.0 processor accessible via an API to Java applications. +- An XQuery 1.0 processor that can be used from the command line, or invoked + from a Java application by use of an API. +- An XML Schema 1.0 processor. This can be used on its own to validate a schema + for correctness, or to validate a source document against the definitions in + a schema. It is also used to support the schema-aware functionality of the + XSLT and XQuery processors. + +So you can use Saxon to process XML by writing XSLT stylesheets, by writing +XQuery queries, by writing Java applications, or by combinations of the +approaches. + +WWW: http://saxon.sourceforge.net/ |
