Xsl3.Cli 1.3.1

xsl3

The command line of Xsl3, an XSLT 3.0, XSLT 2.0 and XPath 3.1 processor for .NET.

Version 1.3.1 strengthens P7 verification of forward execution, Debug compiler checks, retained navigator memory, fork payloads and hidden grounding. Native initialization diagnostics now run in a separate workflow; the scheduled memory and throughput acceptance gates remain unchanged. Default execution stays tree-based; streaming remains experimental and unsupported. Keep Xsl3, Xsl3.Build and Xsl3.Cli at the same version and regenerate saved stylesheets with matching packages. See the 1.3.1 release notes.

dotnet tool install --global Xsl3.Cli

xsl3 transform -xsl:style.xsl -s:input.xml -o:output.html [name=value ...]
xsl3 transform -xsl:style.xsl -it [-it:name] [-im:mode] [-o:file] [--trusted] [--trace]
xsl3 explain -xsl:style.xsl [--unoptimized]
xsl3 compile -xsl:style.xsl -o:Style.dll [-type:Namespace.Type] [--debug] [--version1]

• transform runs a stylesheet on a source document (-s), or from a named template (-it, xsl:initial-template by default), and writes the result to -o or the console. name=value sets a stylesheet parameter to a string. --trusted allows document(), doc(), xsl:evaluate, secondary result files and environment variables; without it they are off. --trace prints each template and function as it starts and ends.
• compile saves the stylesheet as an assembly holding one type, for XslCompiledTransform.Load(Type) and NativeAOT (Xsl3.Build runs it from MSBuild). --debug embeds a portable PDB mapping the code to the stylesheet's lines.
• explain writes the optimized query intermediate language (QIL) the stylesheet compiles to, as XML: template rules, the functions that dispatch modes to them, and the generated code's structure. The format is internal and changes between versions.
