Re: [xsl] Definite list of XSLT 2.0 processors?

- Native XSLT 2.0 for .NET. The XPath 2.0 datamodel
is already there

Saxon.NET is 'native' thanks to IKVM.NET

- Native C/C++ XSLT 2.0 processor for LAMP and others

You can run Saxon.NET on Linux using Mono. You can run Mono on Apache
using mod_mono. No issues with MySQL. You can run PHP on Mono using
http://php-compiler.net/

There it is, XSLT 2.0 on LAMP, although there's nothing native about it :-)

Thanks to everyone for joining in on this discussion, which went slightly
beyond my original intentions (a good thing), but learnt a few new things
along the way. Was a bit surprised that throughout this thread, the market
seems divided between LAMP and Java only. What happened to ASP, C#.NET or
even desktop/tools? And what about browser's client-side XSLT 2.0?

If I try to compile a little final list of all information so far, it'll
look something like the following. If you have information about the gaps in
my information gathering, I'm (still/always) all ears.


Complete implementations
------------------------
- Saxon-HE, open source, basic [1][3]
- Saxon-PE, commercial closed source, basic [2][3]
- Saxon-EE, commercial closed source, schema-aware [2][3]
- AltovaXML, free closed source, schema-aware[4]
- IBM WebSphere Feature Pack, free* closed source, schema aware[5]

*  the feature pack is free, WebSphere, to which it belongs, is not


Incomplete implementations
--------------------------
- Intel XSLT 2.0, public beta free dl, basic*, 90% conformance [6]
- Gestalt, open source, no more development, unknown conformance [7]
- Oracle 10.1+, unclear status, no dl, unknown conformance [8]

* Intel wants feedback, in particular about whether to implement SA.


Alternatives
------------
- EXSLT, extensions to XSLT 1.0 to close the gap, no conformance [9]
- XSLT 2.0 through XSLT 1.0 (can't find the link anymore)


No plans
--------
- Microsoft has postponed plans for XSLT 2.0 indefinitely [10]

Wishes
------
- Native XSLT 2.0 for .NET. The XPath 2.0 datamodel is already there
- Native C/C++ XSLT 2.0 processor for LAMP and others
- Open source C-interface for implementation in open source browsers

for C/C++ world maybe better option is to compile XSLT 2.0 stylesheet
into C/C++ code (if you need very fast conversion)

but even with this case i suggest that pros and cons not vote for this
case too

JDK7 with G1 for Saxon (maybe EE) probably much better idea to get
lightspeed XSLT 2.0 conversion (don`t forget about second front in
face of AMD & Intel "brains")

Dr. Kay's left leg, for example.
