The SAXON package is a collection of tools for processing XML documents.
The main components are:

* An XSLT processor, which implements the Version 1.0 XSLT and XPath
Recommendations from the World Wide Web Consortium.  This version of
Saxon also includes some features defined in XSLT 1.1.

* A Java library, which supports a similar processing model to XSL, but
allows full programming capability, which you need if you want to
perform complex processing of the data or to access external services
such as a relational database

* A slightly improved version of the AElfred parser from Microstar.
(But you can use SAXON with any SAX-compliant XML parser if you prefer).

Saxon is distributed under the terms of the Mozilla Public License
(MPL).
