Congratulations Saxonica! (with special callouts to Debbie, John, and Michael). This is a significant leap for all XMLers.

Node.js has become a very popular platform for high-performance web services, and until now it has had rather poor support for XML technologies generally, and XSLT in particular. Saxon-JS on Node.js is effectively a brand new XSLT processor, which can now operate completely independently of the Java product. Our initial performance results are very encouraging indeed. > > We're making Saxon-JS available at no charge (but it's not open source). We'll be offering a subscription package for enterprise users that will offer source code, debugging aids, and functional add-ons in due course (please let us know if you're interested: that will help us in designing the service). But for the moment, please download it and try it out. For Node.js, it's on npm with package names "xslt3" and "saxon-js". For the browser, you can download from www.saxonica.com/saxon-js -- where you will also find full documentation, delivered (of course) using Saxon-JS itself. > > Debbie Lockett and John Lumley have devoted the last couple of years to this project, and deserve a big round of applause. > > Michael Kay > Saxonica > XSL-List info and archive > EasyUnsubscribe (by email) ================================================================ Deborah A Lapeyre mailto:dalapeyre@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Mulberry Technologies, Inc. http://www.mulberrytech.com 17 West Jefferson Street Phone: 301-315-9631 (USA) Suite 207 Fax: 301-315-8385 Rockville, MD 20850 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Mulberry Technologies: Consultancy for XML, XSLT, and Schematron ================================================================
