[list4xt] Re: Sun XSLT compiler

 Hi.

1. MS is promising streaming XSLT, Sun is promising compiled stylesheets.

2. At some time SAXON contained a support for compiled stylesheets, but then Michael Key stopped supporting that feature ( don't remember why and maybe he started to support it again?). Also, as far as I remember, there was no impressive benchmarking on compiled stylesheets.

3. Let us first see what will realy happen.

I think even Sun will get the compiled stylesheets, XT will not die, but more likely XT ( which is 'interpreter') will go hand by hand with that 'compiler'. It is handy to have both. Well, if Sun will give both - that may 'kill' XT, but I'l prefer to wait until they'l give something better than press release. I found most of press-releases coming out of huge companies ( like "Adobe and Sun announce contest for XSL FO" ) to be very misleading.

 Rgds.Paul.

Hi,

Sun is presenting at XML Europe a XSLT compiler compiling stylesheet
into Java byte code and bringing a huge performance improvement which
should become open source sooner or later.

(Leigh has written a xmlhack story about it
http://xmlhack.com/read.php?item=594).

What do you think about this tool ?

The only drawback I can see from this architecture is for cases where
you are dynamically building XSLT sheets (the compiling time will very
likely be much longer than what we know with XT).

The memory print is another advantage : the compiled stylesheet takes
only some Ks and can be used as in applet mode by a client (removing any
issue of compatibility).

Do you think it can be a killer app for other XSLT implementations
(including XT) ?
