NAME
XML::Saxon::XSLT2 - process XSLT 2.0 using Saxon 9.x.
SYNOPSIS
use XML::Saxon::XSLT2;
# make sure to open filehandle in right encoding
open(my $input, '<:encoding(UTF-8)', 'path/to/xml') or die $!;
open(my $xslt, '<:encoding(UTF-8)', 'path/to/xslt') or die $!;
my $trans = XML::Saxon::XSLT2->new($xslt, $baseurl);
my $output = $trans->transform($input);
print $output;
my $output2 = $trans->transform_document($input);
my @paragraphs = $output2->getElementsByTagName('p');
DESCRIPTION
This module implements XSLT 1.0 and 2.0 using Saxon 9.x via Inline::Java.
It expects Saxon to be installed in either '/usr/share/java/saxon9he.jar'
or '/usr/local/share/java/saxon9he.jar'. Future versions should be more
flexible. The saxon9he.jar file can be found at
<http://saxon.sourceforge.net/> - just dowload the latest Java release of
Saxon-HE 9.x, open the Zip archive, extract saxon9he.jar and save it to
one of the two directories above.
Import
use XML::Saxon::XSLT2;
You can include additional parameters which will be passed straight on to
Inline::Java, like this:
use XML::Saxon::XSLT2 EXTRA_JAVA_ARGS => '-Xmx256m';
The `import` function *must* be called. If you load this module without
importing it, it will not work. (Don't worry, it won't pollute your
namespace.)
Constructor
`XML::Saxon::XSLT2->new($xslt, [$baseurl])`
Creates a new transformation. $xslt may be a string, a file handle or
an XML::LibXML::Document. $baseurl is an optional base URL for
resolving relative URL references in, for instance, <xsl:import>
links. Otherwise, the current directory is assumed to be the base.
(For base URIs which are filesystem directories, remember to include
the trailing slash.)
Methods
`$trans->parameters($key=>$value, $key2=>$value2, ...)`
Sets transformation parameters prior to running the transformation.
Each key is a parameter name.
Each value is the parameter value. This may be a scalar, in which case
it's treated as an xs:string; a DateTime object, which is treated as
an xs:dateTime; a URI object, xs:anyURI; a Math::BigInt, xs:long; or
an arrayref where the first element is the type and the second the
value. For example:
$trans->parameters(
now => DateTime->now,
madrid_is_capital_of_spain => [ boolean => 1 ],
price_of_fish => [ decimal => '1.99' ],
my_link => URI->new('http://example.com/'),
your_link => [ uri => 'http://example.net/' ],
);
The following types are supported via the arrayref notation: float,
double, long (alias int, integer), decimal, bool (alias boolean),
string, qname, uri, date, datetime. These are case-insensitive.
`$trans->transform($doc, [$output_method])`
Run a transformation, returning the output as a string.
$doc may be a string, a file handle or an XML::LibXML::Document.
$output_method may be 'xml', 'xhtml', 'html' or 'text' to override the
XSLT output method; or 'default' to use the output method specified in
the XSLT file. 'default' is the default. In the current release,
'default' is broken. :-(
`$trans->transform_document($doc, [$output_method])`
As per <transform>, but returns the output as an
XML::LibXML::Document.
This method is slower than `transform`.
`$trans->messages`
Returns a list of string representations of messages output by
<xsl:message> during the last transformation run.
`$trans->media_type($default)`
Returns the output media type for the transformation.
If the transformation doesn't specify an output type, returns the
default.
`$trans->doctype_public($default)`
Returns the output DOCTYPE public identifier for the transformation.
If the transformation doesn't specify a doctype, returns the default.
`$trans->doctype_system($default)`
Returns the output DOCTYPE system identifier for the transformation.
If the transformation doesn't specify a doctype, returns the default.
`$trans->version($default)`
Returns the output XML version for the transformation.
If the transformation doesn't specify a version, returns the default.
`$trans->encoding($default)`
Returns the output encoding for the transformation.
If the transformation doesn't specify an encoding, returns the
default.
BUGS
Please report any bugs to <http://rt.cpan.org/>.
SEE ALSO
XML::LibXSLT is probably more reliable in terms of easy installation on a
variety of platforms, and it allows you to define your own XSLT extension
functions. However, the libxslt library that it's based on only supports
XSLT 1.0.
This module uses Inline::Java.
