mod-xslt2 is a server side module able to apply stylesheets to xml data on the fly. mod-xslt2 as it is today is almost a complete rewrite of the original mod-xslt2 written by Philipp Dunkel, with many new features added and a complete code clean up. mod-xslt2 is Free Software, as it will always be, it is released under the terms of the GPL and anybody is welcome to join its development. mod-xslt2 is able to: parse dynamically generated xml provided by cgi scripts or server side languages, like perl or php. use a full featured language based on PIs to choose which stylesheet to use, language that can make use of headers provided by the client, GET parameters and regular expressions parse external DTDs and use the defaults therein provided fetch stylesheets or external entities from other dynamic pages, http or ftp urls without creating the potential of deadlocks and avoiding most of the dangerous conditions set the mime type of the transformation result as told by the xslt let the xslt access GET parameters or modify the headers returned back to the browser provide a set of standard compliant functions allowing you to keep your xslt or xml files compatible with any xslt processor, even when using mod-xslt2 enhanced features At time of writing, mod-xslt2 works with Apache 1.3 and Apache 2.0. However, it provides an API based on an external library that should make it easy to port mod-xslt2 to any other web server. Work is under way to provide a Proxy translator, a CGI handler, and many more features.
