| <!--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>&xslt4j; 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 &xslt; 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>&xslt4j; 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; works with &xml4j; version 2, and the distribution includes xercesImpl.jar from &xml4j-used;. &xslt4j-current; is also |
| compatible with &xml4j; version 1.</p> |
| <p>Support for the &xslt4j; release 1 API, which predates the design of the JAXP 1.1/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 1.1-compliant XML parser) on your classpath!</em></p> |
| <p>&xslt4j-current; also introduces support for <link idref="extensionslib" anchor="exslt">EXSLT extensions </link>.</p> |
| </s2> |
| <s2 title="How do I get it?"> |
| <p>To get the binary distribution (all you need to use and develop applications with &xslt4j;), download and unzip either of the following:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><resource-ref idref="xslt4j-dist-bin-zip"/></li> |
| <li><resource-ref idref="xslt4j-dist-bin-targz"/></li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>To get the &xslt4j; sources (with which you can do your own &xslt4j; build; see <link idref="readme" anchor="build">Build notes</link>), download and unzip either of the following:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><resource-ref idref="xslt4j-dist-src-zip"/></li> |
| <li><resource-ref idref="xslt4j-dist-src-targz"/></li> |
| </ul> |
| </s2> |
| |
| <s2 title="Where do I get Xerces?"> |
| <p>The &xslt4j; download includes &xml4j-jar; from &xml4j-used;. In conjunction with xml-apis.jar, this is all you need to run &xslt4j; with |
| the &xml4j; XML parser. You can, however, download the complete &xml4j; binary or source 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 1.2.2, or 1.3.x, 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> |
