Xalan-Java 2.6.0

Xalan-Java implements the W3C Recommendation 16 November 1999 XSL Transformations (XSLT) Version 1.0.

XLST is a stylesheet language for transforming XML documents into other XML documents, HTML documents, other document types, or text.

Transformations API for XML (TrAX)

javax.xml.transformThis package defines the generic APIs for processing transformation instructions, and performing a transformation from source to result.
javax.xml.transform.domThis package implements DOM-specific transformation APIs.

The DOMSource class allows the client of the implementation of this API to specify a DOM Node as the source of the input tree.

javax.xml.transform.saxThis package implements SAX2-specific transformation APIs.
javax.xml.transform.streamThis package implements stream- and URI- specific transformation APIs.

Java API for XML Parsing

javax.xml.parsersProvides classes allowing the processing of XML documents.

Xalan Core

org.apache.xalan.processorParses an XSLT stylesheet document (which may include and import other stylesheet documents) and produces a StylesheetRoot (a TRaX Templates object).

StylesheetProcessor implements the TRaX TransformerFactory interface, as well as the SAXTransformerFactory interface.

org.apache.xalan.templatesImplements the Templates interface, and defines a set of classes that represent an XSLT stylesheet.

StylesheetRoot implements the Templates interface, and extends StylesheetComposed, which is a Stylesheet composed of itself and its included Stylesheet objects.

org.apache.xalan.transformerIn charge of run-time transformations and the production of result trees.

TransformerImpl implements the Transformer interface, and is the core representation of the transformation execution.

For each node in the XML source, TransformerImpl uses the StylesheetRoot and underlying XSLT schema to determine which template to apply: one of the templates in the StylesheetRoot, a default template rule as specified in the XSLT spec, or none.

The Transformer works with SerializationHandler to forward the SAX-like events produced by the transformation to the appropriate output ContentHandler.

To the degree possible, the parsing of the XML source and application of the Templates object to that source are performed concurrently in separate threads.

XPath

org.apache.xpathImplementation of XPath; for the most part, only classes meant for public use are found at this root level of the XPath packages.

org.apache.xpath.axesImplementation of XPath LocationPath support -- primary classes are LocPathIterator and UnionPathIterator.

org.apache.xpath.compilerImplements an XPath parser which produces an OpMap, and a so-called Compiler which produces an expression tree for fast evaluation.

org.apache.xpath.domapi
org.apache.xpath.functionsImplements XPath functions -- each function is derived from Function, FunctionOneArg, Function2Args, etc, with number-of-arguments checking being applied mainly at compile time -- this package only implements XPath functions, XSLT functions are found in the "templates" package.

org.apache.xpath.objectsImplementation of XPath polymorphic type objects -- this package will grow as XPath objects are expanded to support XML Schema data types.

org.apache.xpath.operationsSupport for XPath operations, such as +, -, string(), etc.

org.apache.xpath.patternsImplementation of XPath nodeTest support, and XSLT pattern matching support.

org.apache.xpath.resContains strings for XPath support that require internationalization.

Document Table Model (DTM)

org.apache.xml.dtm
org.apache.xml.dtm.ref
org.apache.xml.dtm.ref.dom2dtm
org.apache.xml.dtm.ref.sax2dtm

Utilities

org.apache.xml.utilsImplementation of Xalan utility classes.
org.apache.xml.utils.res
org.apache.xml.utils.synthetic
org.apache.xml.utils.synthetic.reflection

Xalan Other

org.apache.xalan.clientImplementation of Xalan applet.

org.apache.xalan.extensionsImplementation of Xalan Extension Mechanism.

org.apache.xalan.resContains strings that require internationalization.

org.apache.xalan.traceImplementation of Xalan Trace events, for use by a debugger.

org.apache.xalan.xsltImplementation of Xalan command-line interface.

Xalan Extensions

org.apache.xalan.libExtension elements and functions shipped with Xalan-Java, including EXSLT functions.

We are adding extensions to this package.

org.apache.xalan.lib.sqlProvides extension functions for connecting to a JDBC data source, executing a query, and working incrementally through a "streamable" result set.

Serializers

org.apache.xalan.serialize

SAX 2

org.xml.sax This package provides the core SAX APIs.
org.xml.sax.ext This package contains interfaces to optional SAX2 handlers.
org.xml.sax.helpersThis package contains "helper" classes, including support for bootstrapping SAX-based applications.

DOM 2

org.w3c.dom
org.w3c.dom.css
org.w3c.dom.events
org.w3c.dom.html
org.w3c.dom.ranges
org.w3c.dom.stylesheets
org.w3c.dom.traversal
org.w3c.dom.views
org.w3c.dom.xpath

XSLTC Core

org.apache.xalan.xsltc
org.apache.xalan.xsltc.cmdline
org.apache.xalan.xsltc.cmdline.getopt
org.apache.xalan.xsltc.compiler
org.apache.xalan.xsltc.compiler.util
org.apache.xalan.xsltc.dom

Other Packages

org.apache.xalan
org.apache.xml.res
org.apache.xml.serializerProcesses SAX events into streams.

The SerializerFactory is used to create a Serializer from a set of output properties (see OutputKeys).

ToStream acts as the main baseclass for the Xalan serializer implementations.

org.apache.xmlcommons
Xalan-Java implements the W3C Recommendation 16 November 1999 XSL Transformations (XSLT) Version 1.0.

XLST is a stylesheet language for transforming XML documents into other XML documents, HTML documents, other document types, or text. The language includes the XSL Transformation vocabulary and XPath, a language for addressing parts of an XML document. An XSL stylesheet describes how to transform the tree of nodes in the XML input into another tree of nodes.
