The Saxon-B 9.1 package is a collection of tools for processing XML documents.
|
|
The main components are:
|
|
|
|
- An XSLT 2.0 processor, that can be used from the command line, or invoked
|
|
from a Java application by use of the standard JAXP API. 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.
