Saxon XSLT and XQuery Processor

Hi,

Say I wanted to serialize a binary format from an XSLT result tree,=20
how would I go about that?  Would I have to implement a custom
serializer?

Could that serializer be invoked by saxon automatically by extending the
set=20
of output@... xml, xhtml, text etc to include dbf?

Any advice appreciated!

Cheers,
Peter

The DataDirect XmlConverters do something similar. We implement custom resolvers so that you can write out XML from XSLT or XQuery, and it is transformed on-the-fly to several formats including CSV, EDI and even dBase. See http://www.stylusstudio.com/deployment and the new http://www.xmlconverters.com/ The converse is also true - we allow you to process dBase, EDI, CSV and other formats with XSLT/XQuery as if they were actually XML, by converting in-stream and on-the-fly. The XmlConverters expose SAX and StAX interfaces on Java, and XmlReader/XmlWriter for .net. -- Tony Lavinio <> DataDirect <> Stylus Studio XML <> alavinio@...

There are various levels of integration possible. The simplest is probably to write your code as a SAX ContentHandler, and send your output to a Java SAXResult that wraps the ContentHandler. However, if you want to control it from the stylesheet rather than the API, you can do that: see http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/extensibility/output-filters.html Michael Kay
