Re: PHP, Xerces, Xalan

Just a note that Sablotron is not in Beta. Xalan does not fully implement the XSLT standard to my knowledge, it implements (last I checked) around 95% of the XSLT standard, whereas Sablotron implements around 80% and is faster than Xalan (from my basic tests, as well as the tests of someone at the php-kongress I believe). If Xalan support were implemented, I'd like to see it implemented transparently, meaning it would be a compile time option: ./configure --with-xslt --with-xalan[=DIR] Or ./configure --with--xslt --with-sablot[=DIR] And each would provide a basic functionality set (ie, xslt_process, xslt_transform, etc.) I think the same should be done with Xerces which I don't know to much about... -sterling > Last I heard these two were still under intense development (the C versions). > If they work well now, how about volunteering to write these extensions? :) > > Andi > > At 01:39 PM 1/7/2001 +0300, Flying wrote: > >Hi! > > > > I have one question to PHP extension developers: > > Is there are any plans to implement PHP extension modules based on > >Xerces-C (http://xml.apache.org/xerces-c) and Xalan-C > >(http://xml.apache.org/xalan-c) ? > > I think that Xerces and Xalan are much more powerful than expat and > >Sablotron, currently used as base for DOM XML and XSLT modules.
