With SAX now stable, I feel ready to expose SAXON to the world.

SAXON is a Java package that provides a layer of services on top of SAX. These services include:

* support for specific element handlers for each element type, allowing your application to be more modular * providing context information about each element, saving your application from having to maintain this itself * management of multiple output streams linked to particular elements in the input document, useful when you are splitting an XML document or loading the data into a database * an ActiveX interface to make it easy to do an HTML rendition of an XML document from server-side VBScript code on an ASP page

I have used SAXON to do a variety of XML->XML and XML->HTML transformations. It includes a number of standard element handlers that are convenient for doing common HTML renditions as well as more advanced functions such as auto-numbering and sorting.

Why "SAXON"? Well, because it's a layer on top of SAX. (And originally it was closely linked to AElfred)...

Have fun.
