XSLT Tools on OS X

[lars]

I'm looking for XSLT tools for OS X. I've looked at tar-balls for
Xalan and Xerces, but these come with no instructions, not even
an ASCII readme. They seem also to lack the basic ability to
be compiled using ./configure and make. grrr

What else is out for C, C++, Java or Perl on OS X?

I have never used Java on the Mac but the documentation here
<http://developer.apple.com/referencelibrary/API_Fundamentals/Java-api-date.html>
suggests that the Sun JDK API 1.4 is available and the JDK 1.4 has an
XSLT 1.0 processor, see the TransformerFactory/Transformer in
javax.xml.transform.

I have success with Xalan. Download the Java "2 jars" binary package.
Unpack it somewhere, and add that somewhere to your $CLASSPATH.

$ java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process

should produce an error with a usage listing. I recommend O'Reilly's
"XSLT - Mastering XML Transformations" (I have a very good public
library).

Try libxml and libxslt http://xmlsoft.org

Try libxml and libxslt http://xmlsoft.org

Further to this, if you want a GUI for libxml/libxslt you may wish to
try tkxmllint and/or tkxsltproc:

http://tclxml.sf.net/tkxsltproc.html
Under-the-hood they use the OSX framework binaries.

HTHs,
