Streaming Transformations for XML (STX)
Streaming Transformations for XML (STX) is a one-pass transformation language for XML documents. STX is intended as a high-speed, low memory consumption alternative to XSLT, using the W3C XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model. Since STX does not require the construction of an in-memory tree, it is suitable for use in resource constrained scenarios. The aim of this project is to develop and maintain an STX language specification.
| ||||
| 27 April 2007: An updated version of STX 1.0 specification has been published. This is a clean-up version, deleting some marginal features and improving the wording. |
| 1 July 2004: A significantly updated working draft of STX 1.0 specification is available. The changes move STX closer to XPath2. The STX data model is derived from the XQuery/XPath2 data model, and STXPath is derived from XPath2 now. |
| 12 August 2003: The version 2.1 of Apache Cocoon contains an STX block (based on Joost). Streaming transformations can be run through this popular web development framework now. |
