What is it?

ZopeXMLMethods provides methods to apply to Zope objects for XML/XSLT processing. XSLTMethod associates XSLT transformers with XML documents. ZopeXMLMethods succeeds the XMLTransform plug-in. It features file-system caching and works with many XML/XSLT libraries. It is written in Python.

Major features:

• Supports the following XML/XSLT processing libraries:
  • 4Suite 1.0a,
  • libxslt 1.0.28,
  • Sablotron 0.97, and
  • Pyana 0.6.
• XSLT processing including support for URN resolvers and XML catalogs (click here or here to find out more about XML catalog technology. There is also a whole section about it in the tutorial.)
• Works with nearly any kind of Zope object that can produce XML (e.g. File, ZopePageTemplate, ParsedXML, XMLDocument, DTMLDocument, etc.)
• Supports XSLT pipelines, where the output from one transformer is passed to the next: aXML/xslt1/xslt2/xslt3
• Pluggable architecture makes it possible to dynamically choose between different XSLT processors at runtime.
• Full set of unit tests. Test suite uses Stefan Holek's excellent ZopeTestCase enhanced testing library.
