#xpath4 — Public Fediverse posts

Work continues on XPath 4, XQuery 4, XSLT 4 - see https://qt4cg.org/ - but the focus has shifted to “getting it finished”i think. Although i wasn’t able to be as active as i wanted (and had a meeting conflict) i did write some proposals, some accepted and some not.

If you have concerns, now is teh time to voice them. Or sooner 🙂

@64kb Yes, there's a parse-html function in the XPath 4 functions and operators draft.

XSLT and XPath 3, from 2017, can already parse JSON.

XSLT is a functional language for manipulating primarily tree-structured data and information, such as you might find in XML or JSON or HTML for example.

Someone recently asked me for an XSLT course that includes XSLT 4; usually i teach XSLT 3, the latest, but 4 is in preparation. It's not quite ready for production use, but if you want to be ahead of the curve the course might go ahead in the next month or two.

DM if interested.
