| <!--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--> |
| <s2 title="What is it?"> |
| <p>Xalan is an XSLT processor for transforming XML documents into HTML, text, or other XML document types. It implements the |
| W3C Recommendations for XSL Transformations (XSLT) and the XML Path Language (XPath). It can be used from the command line, |
| in an applet or a servlet, or as a module in other program.</p> |
| </s2> |
| <s2 title="I've heard of &xslt4j;, but what is version 2?"> |
| <p>&xslt4j; version 2 recasts Xalan as an implementation of the <link idref="trax">TRaX (Transformation API for XML)</link> interfaces, part of the <resource-ref idref="jaxp11"/>. 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; version 2 also builds on <resource-ref idref="sax2"/>, <resource-ref idref="dom2"/>, and the XML parser API in |
| <resource-ref idref="jaxp"/>.</p> |
| <p>For more information, see <link idref="whatsnew">What's new in &xslt4j2;</link>.</p> |
| <note>&xslt4c; version 1 is no longer supported and no longer available from xml.apache.org.</note> |
| </s2> |
| <s2 title="How about this release?"> |
| <p>&xslt4j-current; is a Developer release. To improve performance, it uses the Document Table Model (<link idref="dtm">DTM</link>) to represent the XML source document to be transformed. Please send your feedback to the <human-resource-ref idref="xalandev"/>.</p> |
| </s2> |
| <s2 title="How do I get it?"> |
| <p>Download and unzip either of the following:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><resource-ref idref="xslt4j-dist-zip"/></li> |
| <li><resource-ref idref="xslt4j-dist-targz"/></li> |
| </ul> |
| </s2> |
| |
| <s2 title="Where do I get Xerces?"> |
| <p>The Xalan download includes xerces.jar from &xml4j-used;. This is all you need to run Xalan with the Xerces XML parser. |
| You can, however, download the complete Xerces distribution from the <resource-ref idref="xml4j-distdir"/>.</p> |
| <note>If you plan to use a different XML parser, see <link idref="usagepatterns" anchor="plug">Plugging in a Transformer |
| and XML parser</link>.</note> |
| </s2> |
| <s2 title="What else do I need?"> |
| <p>You need the Java Development Kit or Java Runtime 1.1.8, 1.2.2, or 1.3, which you can obtain from <jump |
| href="http://www.ibm.com/java/jdk">ibm.com/java/jdk/</jump> or <jump href="http://www.java.sun.com">java.sun.com</jump>.</p> |
| </s2> |
| <s2 title="For more information..."> |
| <p>For more information, go to <link idref="overview">Xalan Overview</link> and <link idref="getstarted">Getting |
| Started</link>. All of the Xalan documentation on this website is included in the Xalan download, as are a number of |
| <link idref="samples">Samples</link> to help you start using &xslt4j2; to transform XML documents.</p> |
