<!--note>A later Developer release has been posted in the <resource-ref idref="xslt4j-distdir"/>.
For the changes that have occurred since &xslt4j-current;, consult the xml-xalan-cvs@apache.org
mailing list, or download the release and consult the release notes.</note-->
<anchor name="whatisit"/>
<s2 title="What is it?">
<p>&xslt4j; is an XSLT processor for transforming XML documents into
HTML, text, or other XML document types. It implements <resource-ref idref="xslt"/> and
<resource-ref idref="xpath"/>. It can be used from the command line, in an applet or a
servlet, or as a module in other program.</p>
<p>&xslt4j; recasts &xslt; as an implementation of the <link idref="trax">
Transformation API for XML (TRaX)</link> interfaces, part of the <resource-ref idref="jaxp12"/>.
TRaX provides a modular framework and a standard API for performing XML transformations, and
it utilizes system properties to determine which Transformer and which XML parser to use.</p>
<p>&xslt4j; also builds on <resource-ref idref="sax2"/> and <resource-ref idref="dom2"/>.</p>
<p>For more information, see <link idref="whatsnew">What's new in &xslt4j2;</link>.</p>
<note>&xslt4j; version 1 is no longer supported and no longer available from xml.apache.org.</note>
</s2>
<anchor name="current"/>
<s2 title="How about this release?">
<p>&xslt4j-current; works with &xml4j;, and the distribution includes xercesImpl.jar from &xml4j-used;.</p>
<p>Support for the &xslt4j; release 1 API, which predates the design of the JAXP 1.2/TrAX interfaces,
has been dropped.</p>
<p>The &xslt4j; implementation is in xalan.jar. The SAX, DOM, and JAVAX interfaces are in xml-apis.jar.
These interfaces are shared by a number of tools (&xslt4j;, &xml4j;, etc.), so placing them in a
separate JAR simplifies coordination and reduces risk of duplication.
<em>Be sure to put both JAR files (and xercesImpl.jar or another JAXP 1.2-compliant XML parser) on your classpath!</em></p>
</s2>
<anchor name="moreinfo"/>
<s2 title="For more information...">
<p>For more information, go to <link idref="overview">&xslt4j; Overview</link>,
<link idref="downloads">&xslt4j; Downloads</link>, <link idref="getstarted">Getting Started
with Interpretive Processing</link> and <link idref="xsltc_usage">Getting Started with &xslt4jc-short;</link>.
All of the &xslt4j; documentation on this website is included in the &xslt4j; download, as are a number of
<link idref="samples">Samples</link> to help you start using &xslt4j; to transform XML documents.</p>
