The IBM WebSphere Application Server V7 Feature Pack for
XML supports XSLT 2.0, XPath 2.0, and XQuery 1.0, and provides an
application program interface (API) in support of these standards.
The Feature Pack for XML supports the following new or updated
World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) XML standards:
- Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) 2.0
- Programming language used to transform XML into a new XML format
or into another presentation-oriented format such as HTML, XHTML,
or SVG.
For more information about this standard, go to XSL
Transformations (XSLT) Version 2.0.
- XML Path Language (XPath) 2.0
- Programming language designed to allow developers to select nodes
from an XML document.
For more information about this standard, go to http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath20/.
- XML Query Language (XQuery) 1.0
- Query language built with the intent of enabling access to collections
of XML documents in a way that bridges retrieval of both structured
and unstructured data.
For more information about this standard,
go to XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language.
The Feature Pack for XML also provides the IBM XML Application
Programming Interface in support of these standards. This application
programming interface invokes a runtime engine that is capable of
executing XPath 2.0, XSLT 2.0, and XQuery 1.0 as well as manipulating
the returned XML data. To view the Feature Pack for XML Application
Program Interface (API) documentation, see: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v7r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.websphere.javadoc.xmlfep.doc/javadoc/index.html
