Re: [PHP-DEV] PHP, Xerces, Xalan From: Sterling Hughes (Sterling.Hughes <email protected>)

Just a note that Sablotron is not in Beta.

Xalan does not fully implement the XSLT standard to my knowledge, it
implements (last I checked) around 95% of the XSLT standard, whereas
Sablotron implements around 80% and is faster than Xalan (from my basic
tests, as well as the tests of someone at the php-kongress I believe).

If Xalan support were implemented, I'd like to see it implemented
transparently, meaning it would be a compile time option:

./configure --with-xslt --with-xalan[=DIR]

Or

./configure --with--xslt --with-sablot[=DIR]

And each would provide a basic functionality set (ie, xslt_process,
xslt_transform, etc.)

I think the same should be done with Xerces which I don't know to much
about...
