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

Features

  • XSLT 3.0/4.0 — packages, streaming, maps/arrays, higher-order functions, JSON output
  • Multiple output methods — XML, HTML, XHTML, text, JSON, adaptive
  • Streaming — process large files without loading into memory
  • xsl:result-document — generate multiple output files in one transform
  • Parameters — pass values from the command line
  • Timing — built-in performance profiling
  • Tracing — log template matching, function calls, and built-in rules

Requires PhoenixmlDb.XQuery 2.8.0 and PhoenixmlDb.Core 2.4.0. W3C XSLT 3.0: 131 failing.

### Security

Security fixes for hosts that compile or run stylesheets from untrusted parties. The advisory will
be linked here when it is published.

### Schemas

- **Constructor functions of imported schema types** can be called (`t:size('8')`, `t:size#1`),
 and `function-available` answers for them.
- **Schema types by prefix in XPath**: `cast as t:size` and `castable as t:size` work (#316).
- **An inline `xs:schema` in `xsl:import-schema`** is read, through the schema provider's
 interface; a relative `schemaLocation` in it is relative to the stylesheet.
- **`xsl:validation` on a literal result element** is applied (#316).
- From PhoenixmlDb.XQuery 2.8.0: schemas are read through the shared schema layer and cached across
 transformations, an atomic value keeps its schema type, and a schema that requires XSD 1.1 says so.

### Streaming

- **`StrictStreamability`** (opt-in; `XsltTransformer.StrictStreamability`,
 `XsltTransformOptions.StrictStreamability`, CLI `--strict-streaming`) reports `XTSE3430` for a
 template in a streamable mode that is not streamable (#295).
- **Two wrong results in streamed rules are fixed**: an element rule with two
 `xsl:apply-templates` gave truncated output, and a document-node rule lost its second result.

### Conformance

The harness now accepts an expected error code only when the engine raised it, not when the code
merely appears in the message text (#318). With that stricter rule, W3C XSLT 3.0 is 131 failing.
