Hi All,
I am studying XSLT and I would like to know how is it working using the XSLT processor.

I believe this would help me advance more on my studies.

I've found XT, Saxon ... and other freeware on web but I have no idea which one is the best. Any recommendation?

thanks.

In my opinion the best is MSXML4 parser. You can download it from microsoft.com. Only limitation, it is for windows only.

You can download a demo of XMLSpy which is good for a limited time. It is great, but it is costly if you get hooked on it. However, it is a good environment to do everything in. Plus, it has a debugger and loads and loads of other features

Under Tools|Options|XSL, you can select the built-in processor--which is very good, MSXML, or any other third-party processor.

I use Apache's Xalan-J(ava). Very powerful and has extensions like EXSLT. However, you need to load Java on your box as well.

Good luck.

Thanks.
I have downloaded XT and would like to try it.
However, I'm using Win NT OS.. just wondering if they're compatible?
Have seen only windows 95 or 98 OS for XT on the web...

You are fine; however, you'll need Java.

Here you can get the XT source
