library1.0.0jsnpmunverified

XJSLT is an XSLT 2.0 to JavaScript transpiler that compiles XSLT stylesheets into executable JavaScript code for Node.js or browser environments. Version 1.0.0, released as a stable first release, depends on fontoxpath for XPath evaluation. It claims faster performance than SaxonJS and supports most XSLT 2 features, though some edge cases and features like analyze-string and tunneled parameters are not yet implemented. It provides a CLI for compilation and transformation, and supports generating standalone scripts for cloud functions or browser use. Written in TypeScript with full type declarations, and requires Node.js >=18.

Type-only import for TypeScript

Compiles an XSLT stylesheet string and applies it to an XML string, outputting the transformation result.

import { compileStyleSheet, executeStyleSheet } from 'xjslt'; const xsltSource = `<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:template match="/"> <html><body><h1><xsl:value-of select="//title"/></h1></body></html> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>`; const xmlSource = `<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <root><title>Hello World</title></root>`; const compiled = compileStyleSheet(xsltSource); const result = executeStyleSheet(compiled, xmlSource); console.log(result);
