@stefan_hessbrueggen I am not in the know about the GNOME/libxml2 developments, but a while ago a blogpost by @faassen got me curious. Took me a while to find it again, but here it is: https://blog.startifact.com/posts/xee/

#Xee is an almost complete #XPath31 implementation plus incomplete #XSLT3 inplementation, in #Rust. Here is the repo (last commit from Oct 2025): https://github.com/Paligo/xee

Probably something to keep an eye on...

Xee: A Modern XPath and XSLT Engine in Rust

I announce Xee, the implementation of XPath and XSLT in Rust that I've been working on for the last two years.

This looks like an excellent opportunity to tell #Mozilla (and hopefully the whole #WHATWG) to prioritize the #openWeb and #indieWeb over the corporate-controlled crapola they are pushing to transform the web into an OS they control: https://interop-rank.jakearchibald.com/

Of course my top votes went to #XSLT3 #JPEGXL #MathML and #SVG. https://wok.oblomov.eu/tecnologia/google-killing-open-web/ —pity none of the points are about #RSS or #SMIL though.

h/t to @dneto and @slightlyoff for bringing this into my timeline.

XSLT course this month or next, be there or be elsewhere.

🤔 Oh, sure! Let’s all jump on the XSLT 3.0 bandwagon because nothing screams “cutting-edge tech” like a 2017 #XML #overhaul. 🚀 Apparently, the XML community thinks this dusty relic matters to people outside its echo chamber. 😂

Why You Should Be Using XSLT 3.0

Kurt Cagle covers some of the major items in the upcoming XSLT 3.0 release, and why it matters beyond the XML community.

🚀 Ah yes, let's sprinkle some XSLT 3.0 on the web platform because nothing screams #innovation like a technology last updated when flip phones were cutting-edge. 😏 Surely GitHub's #AI can transform this relic into the pinnacle of modern web development. 🤖🎉

@64kb Yes, there's a parse-html function in the XPath 4 functions and operators draft.

XSLT and XPath 3, from 2017, can already parse JSON.

#XPath4 #XSLT #XSLT3 #qt4

XSLT is a functional language for manipulating primarily tree-structured data and information, such as you might find in XML or JSON or HTML for example.

Someone recently asked me for an XSLT course that includes XSLT 4; usually i teach XSLT 3, the latest, but 4 is in preparation. It's not quite ready for production use, but if you want to be ahead of the curve the course might go ahead in the next month or two.

DM if interested.

#XSLT #XML #QT4 #XPath #XSLT3 #XPath3 #XSLT4 #XPath4 #XQuery4

XSLT 3 course coming up in February (i know, i knmow, postponed from earlier), first one in over a year.
