Hello, for those working with XML and XSLT/XQuery/XPath, you may be interested to know that Saxonica is releasing an alpha version of its free (and open source) XSLT2/Xquery engine Saxon-HE 9.5. (I'm not affiliated with Saxon, I'm just spreading the news :-) ) The good news is: this finally brings XSLT 2 to C/C++, instead of XSLT 1 (which is already supported by libxml2). XSLT 2 is a MUCH more mature version of XSLT, with cleaner definition of function and a nice functional approach. XSLT 3 will be even better (higher order functions) but may not be supported by the free version of Saxon. http://www.saxonica.com/saxon-c/index.xml I hope that someone will make a binding for haskell ^^,
