What is Apache Xalan?

Xalan-Java is an XSLT processor for transforming XML documents into HTML, text, or other XML document types. It implements XSL Transformations (XSLT) Version 1.0 and XML Path Language (XPath) Version 1.0 and can be used from the command line, in an applet or a servlet, or as a module in other program.

Xalan-Java implements the javax.xml.transform interface in Java API for XML Processing (JAXP) 1.3. This interface provides a modular framework and a standard API for performing XML transformations, and utilizes system properties to determine which Transformer and which XML parser to use.

Xalan-Java also implements the javax.xml.xpath interface in JAXP 1.3, which provides an object-model neutral API for evaluation of XPath expressions and access to the evaluation environment.

Xalan-Java also builds on SAX 2 and DOM level 3.
