LIBX*

LIBX* is a project to implement XPath 2.0 and XSLT 2.0 based on the libxml2 and libxslt Gnome C libraries. Our aim is to make these improvements to libxml2 and libxslt available to the open source community, while at the same time providing value-added products and professional, enterprise-level support from a sustainable business.

News

Latest news:

  • Added support for Sequences to libxml2. The expression count(("a", 2, "c")) correctly returns the value 3.

  • Work has started on implementing the xsl:for-each-group instruction in libxslt.

Plan

Here's our plan:

  • Offer professional services for libxml2 & libxslt; support and training

  • Stage 1: implement non-schema-aware XPath 2.0 and XSLT 2.0; include this in the libxml2/libxslt distribution

  • Stage 2: implement schema-aware XPath 2.0 and XSLT 2.0; offer this as a commercial product

  • Stage 3: implement performance optimisations and additional features; add these to the commercial product

  • Stage 4: include the schema-aware implementation in the libxml2/libxslt distribution
