Subject: Re: [xsl] Random UUID in pure XSLT? From: "Martin Honnen martin.honnen@xxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2020 16:50:53 -0000 |
Today I write from the day job, where I am researching the question of how can I go about producing random UUIDs, in dozens or hundreds, inside an XSLT pipeline, without extension functions in Saxon. The Java randomUUID() function works nicely when its available, but I need to distribute the capability for SaxonHE and eventually SaxonJS.
We do not have an available implementation of RFC 4122 v4 random UUID in pure XSLT do we, free to use (and study)? I know the functional nature of the language makes randomness, um, problematic (when isnt it?),
HE 10 with higher-order function support (which is not available in HE 9.8 and 9.9) has at least support for fn:random-number-generator, Saxon JS 2 also supports that function. I have no idea whether that helps with generating random UUIDs.
