Subject: Re: [xsl] What's the best feature in XSLT 3? From: "John Lumley john@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 3 Oct 2019 19:30:05 -0000 |
For me itbs probably maps, as it allows structured results. Iterate helps a lot in some cases (e.g. processing static variables in an XSLT compiler ;-)). Dark horses might be accumulators (though I admit to never having used keys in 2.0) which are slowly growing on me. And without xsl:evaluate an XSLT compiler in XSLT would be considerably more complex. I should also of course use packaging .... real soon now....
