Is anyone working on a XSL (specially on a XSLT part) module?
I evaluated the market for XSL libraries. The most promissing approaches
were XT by James Clark (the author of Expat, currently used in PHP and
in XML::Perl and quite some other products, a very good engine) and
Xalan
by the Apache Group.
The problem with XT is that is just available and by the contact I had
to J.Clark it looks like he has no idea if he is going to port it to
C/C++.
The problem with Xalan is that it is just available in a final release
for Java and the existing C/C++ version just runs on Win32 (which suckx,
to say it directly).
I am shure that will change but I do not know if that is a good sign of
quality
(do not understand me wrong I am no MS hater, just long time
experience).
I specially think these two products would be good, since:
- they are open source
- will have or have already a wide base of users
- do not use something like the mozilla license
- have a high grade of functionality (at least in their Java versions)
What will come? Anyone any Ideas?
