xslt
Command-line XSLT 3.0/4.0 processor for .NET. Transform XML documents from the terminal using the PhoenixmlDb XSLT engine.
Installation
dotnet tool install -g xslt
Usage
# Transform XML with a stylesheet
xslt stylesheet.xsl input.xml
# Write output to a file
xslt -o result.html report.xsl data.xml
# Start from a named template (no source needed)
xslt -it main generate.xsl
# Pass parameters
xslt -p year=2026 -p title="Report" style.xsl data.xml
# Read source from stdin
cat data.xml | xslt transform.xsl
# Show timing breakdown
xslt --timing style.xsl large-input.xml
# Validate a stylesheet without running
xslt --dry-run style.xsl
# Stream large files (lower memory)
xslt --stream style.xsl large-input.xml

**Major because the train is.** `PhoenixmlDb.Core`, `PhoenixmlDb.XQuery` and `PhoenixmlDb.Xslt`
move to 2.0.0 together for the namespace consolidation. The XSLT engine's own surface is
compatible with 1.8.0 — **what breaks is reaching the extension functions**, and that breaks in
the XQuery layer this engine embeds.
Takes **PhoenixmlDb.XQuery 2.0.0** and **PhoenixmlDb.Core 2.0.0**.
### Breaking — the extension functions moved
A stylesheet reaching the engine's extension functions must now declare:
```xml
xmlns:phx="https://schemas.phoenixml.dev/2026/functions"
```
and call `phx:metadata`, `phx:stem`, `phx:tokenize`, `phx:score`, `phx:is-stop-word` and
`phx:thesaurus-lookup`. The old `ft:` and `dbxml:` namespaces are retired with no aliases, so a
stylesheet using them fails rather than behaving differently. See `PhoenixmlDb.XQuery` 2.0.0 for
the full rename table and the two non-obvious breaks (a host can no longer rebind `phx`, and
metadata providers now receive `Q{uri}local` rather than a prefixed key).
### Fixed
- **`fn:serialize` no longer needs an XSLT-side override.** The override existed because
`fn:serialize` resolved namespace URIs only for one store type and emitted `xmlns:p=""` for
everything else — output that would not reparse. XQuery 2.0.0 carries the store-aware
serializers, so the override is retired rather than maintained in two places.
- **Four defects found by compiling the NEMSIS schematrons**, from the Schematron session.
