xslt
Command-line XSLT 3.0/4.0 processor for .NET. Transform XML documents from the terminal using the PhoenixmlDb XSLT engine.
Installation
dotnet tool install -g xslt
Usage
# Transform XML with a stylesheet
xslt stylesheet.xsl input.xml
# Write output to a file
xslt -o result.html report.xsl data.xml
# Start from a named template (no source needed)
xslt -it main generate.xsl
# Pass parameters
xslt -p year=2026 -p title="Report" style.xsl data.xml
# Read source from stdin
cat data.xml | xslt transform.xsl
# Show timing breakdown
xslt --timing style.xsl large-input.xml
# Validate a stylesheet without running
xslt --dry-run style.xsl
# Stream large files (lower memory)
xslt --stream style.xsl large-input.xml

A prefixed name in an element()/attribute() kind test (e.g. self::attribute(x:expand-text), where x is declared on an ancestor xsl:* element) now resolves its prefix against the stylesheet's namespaces and matches the intended nodes, instead of raising a spurious XPST0081 at parse time (reported by Martin Honnen, running XSpec). Streaming (XSLT 3.0 §19 posture/sweep): a large batch of streamable xsl:copy / xsl:copy-of / copy-of() / snapshot() shapes now stream correctly — a for-each of streamed attributes captured into a typed attribute()* variable; mixed streamed+grounded for-each selects; copy-namespaces="yes" preserving ancestor in-scope namespaces on a copied streamed element; a leading copy-of(path)/snapshot(path) for-each select; a nested/navigating xsl:copy select that must buffer; and apply-templates select="copy-of()" switching modes on the matched subtree (Saxon bug 2630). Document nodes constructed into element content transmit their content (concatenated) rather than being atomized/space-separated, while the same nodes captured into a variable and atomized keep separation. Requires PhoenixmlDb.Core 1.3.0 and PhoenixmlDb.XQuery 1.6.1. No breaking API changes. See RELEASES.md for full notes.
