SaxonJS 3.0.0-beta1 demo

This repository contains a number of small examples designed to highlight specific new features of SaxonJS 3.0.

Prerequisites

To use this repository, you have to have Node.js version 18 installed. The build script uses Gradle and consequently relies on Java. You don’t actually need Java, but you’ll have to setup the build environment and compile the XSLT files in some other way.

You also need to install the SaxonJS 3.0 release in src/nodejs/saxonjs3.

TL;DR

Run ./gradlew server to configure and install the demo.

Open http://localhost:3002/ in your browser.

The source code for the demos is in src.

More details

There are four sets of demos for the browser and Node.js:

Browser demos

The demo page at http://localhost:3002/ contains links to several demos.

1. The smoke test demo just makes sure that everything is working
2. The “paged data” demo uses ixsl:promise to read from a “paged” web service API.
3. The “sum” and “squares” demos show how various kinds of arguments and return types are handled when calling JavaScript functions from XSLT.
4. The “promise” demo shows how to return a promise from a JavaScript extension function and process the result in XSLT.

Node.js demos

After running setup, there are directories under build that contain the corresponding demos for Node.js.

1. The n_sum-* demos are the sum demos for Node.js
2. The n_squares_* demos are the squares demos for Node.js

In each case, the demo can be run by changing to the demo directory and running node run.js.
