Feature Pack for XML - overview

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
