XSLT 3.0 is now a Candidate Recommendation, which is the final stage in the W3C process before a new specification gets ratified. Before final approval, W3C likes to know that there are multiple implementations of the specification available, and that they are interoperable – which means that you can run the same stylesheets on multiple XSLT processors.

This workshop is an opportunity to try out some of the features of the new standard, and to see how they work on both Saxon and Exselt.

The workshop will be led jointly by Abel Braaksma and Michael Kay, who are both members of the W3C working group creating the standard, and designers of the respective implementations.

We’ll be focusing on the two main features of the XSLT 3.0 specification — streaming, and packaging — and we’ll also have a chance to look at some of the other capabilities including JSON support, higher-order functions, error handling with try/catch and merging.

We want this to be a workshop rather than a demonstration, so it will work best if we tackle some problems coming from attendees, rather than things we have carefully rehearsed. Ideas submitted in advance and ideas introduced on the day are both welcomed.
