XSLWeb: XSLT- and XQuery-only pipelines for the web
summary
XSLWeb is an open source Java servlet that turns an HTTP request into an XML pipeline (a request-to-pipeline dispatcher implemented as an XSLT stylesheet) and then executes transformer, XQuery, streaming, validator and serializer steps. It uses Saxon’s tiny tree model, offers extension functions for files, DB, email and HTTP, and ships ZIP and FOP serializers for EPUB/PDF output. Deployments at Dutch government sites and a treaties front end show it runs in production and integrates with Tomcat, Solr and multiple XML databases.
