XSLT Module
This XQuery Module contains functions and variables to perform XSL transformations.
By default, this module uses Java’s XSLT 1.0 Xalan implementation to transform documents. XSLT 3.0 will be enabled if Version 9 or 10 of the Saxon XSLT Processor is found in the class path (see Distributions for more details). A custom transformer can be specified by assigning a class to the system property javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory
, e.g. directly in Java:
<syntaxhighlight lang="java"> System.setProperty(
"javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory", "org.custom.xslt.TransformerFactoryImpl");
Context ctx = new Context(); String result = new XQuery("xslt:transform('...', '...')").execute(ctx); ... ctx.close(); </syntaxhighlight>

Conventions
All functions and errors in this module are assigned to the http://basex.org/modules/xslt
namespace, which is statically bound to the xslt
prefix.
Functions
xslt:processor
Signatures | xslt:processor() as xs:string |
Summary | Returns the name of the applied XSLT processor, or the path to a custom implementation (currently: "Java", "Saxon EE", "Saxon PE", or "Saxon HE"). |
xslt:version
Signatures | xslt:version() as xs:string |
Summary | Returns the supported XSLT version (currently: "1.0" or "3.0"). "Unknown" is returned if a custom implementation was chosen. |
xslt:transform
Signatures | xslt:transform($input as item(), $stylesheet as item()) as node() xslt:transform($input as item(), $stylesheet as item(), $params as map(*)?) as node() xslt:transform($input as item(), $stylesheet as item(), $args as map(*)?, $options as map(*)?) as node()
|
Summary | Transforms the document specified by $input , using the XSLT template specified by $stylesheet , and returns the result as node. $input and $stylesheet can be specified as
XML Catalog files will be considered when resolving URIs. Variables can be bound to a stylesheet via
|
Error | error : an error occurred during the transformation process.
|
xslt:transform-text
Signatures | xslt:transform-text($input as item(), $stylesheet as item()) as xs:string xslt:transform-text($input as item(), $stylesheet as item(), $params as map(*)?) as xs:string xslt:transform-text($input as item(), $stylesheet as item(), $params as map(*)?, $options as map(*)?) as xs:string
|
Summary | Transforms the document specified by $input , using the XSLT template specified by $stylesheet , and returns the result as string. The semantics of $params and $options is the same as for xslt:transform. |
Error | error : an error occurred during the transformation process.
|
xslt:transform-report
Signatures | xslt:transform-report($input as item(), $stylesheet as item()) as xs:string xslt:transform-report($input as item(), $stylesheet as item(), $params as map(*)?) as xs:string xslt:transform-report($input as item(), $stylesheet as item(), $params as map(*)?, $options as map(*)?) as xs:string
|
Summary | Transforms the document specified by $input , using the XSLT template specified by $stylesheet , and returns a map with the following keys:

Examples
Example 1: XSL transformation, with XML and XSL supplied as nodes
Query: <syntaxhighlight lang="xquery"> (: Outputs the result as html. :) declare option output:method 'html'; (: Turn whitespace chopping off. :) declare option db:chop 'no';
let $in :=
<books> <book> <title>XSLT Programmer’s Reference</title> <author>Michael H. Kay</author> </book> <book> <title>XSLT</title> <author>Doug Tidwell</author> <author>Simon St. Laurent</author> <author>Robert Romano</author> </book> </books>
let $style :=
<xsl:stylesheet version='3.0' xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'> <xsl:output method='xml'/> <xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<xsl:for-each select='books/book'> • <xsl:apply-templates select='title'/>: <xsl:value-of select='author'/>
</xsl:for-each>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>
return xslt:transform($in, $style)</syntaxhighlight> Result: <syntaxhighlight lang="xml"> <html>
<body>
• XSLT Programmer’s Reference: Michael H. Kay
• XSLT: Doug Tidwell
</body>
</html> </syntaxhighlight>
Example 2: Textual XSL transformation
Query: <syntaxhighlight lang="xquery"> xslt:transform-text(<dummy/>, 'basic.xslt') </syntaxhighlight>
basic.xslt <syntaxhighlight lang="xml"> <xsl:stylesheet version='1.0' xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'>
<xsl:template match="/">123</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet> </syntaxhighlight>
Result: <syntaxhighlight lang="xml">123</syntaxhighlight>
Example 3: XSL transformation with variable assignment
Query: <syntaxhighlight lang="xquery"> let $in := <dummy/> let $style := doc('variable.xsl') return xslt:transform($in, $style, map { "v": 1 }) </syntaxhighlight>
variable.xsl <syntaxhighlight lang="xslt"> <xsl:stylesheet version='1.0'
xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'> <xsl:param name='v'/> <xsl:template match='/'> <v><xsl:value-of select='$v'/></v> </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet> </syntaxhighlight>
Result: <syntaxhighlight lang="xml"> <v>1</v> <v>1</v> </syntaxhighlight>
Example 4: XSL transformation, yielding a result and info messages
Query: <syntaxhighlight lang="xquery"> xslt:transform-report(
<_/>, <xsl:transform version='2.0' xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'> <xsl:template match='/'> <xsl:message><msg>START...</msg></xsl:message> <xml>123</xml> <xsl:message select='4, 5, "...END"'/> </xsl:template> </xsl:transform>
) </syntaxhighlight>
Result: <syntaxhighlight lang="xquery"> map {
"messages": ([<msg>START...</msg>], ["4 5 ...END"]), "result": <xml>123</xml>
} </syntaxhighlight>
