[ANN] Saxon 9.0 from Michael Kay on 2007-11-04 (xmlschema-dev@w3.org from November 2007) (original) (raw)

Saxon 9.0 has been released.

From the point of view of XML Schema support, there are a number of interesting features:

(a) a first implementation of the new xs:assert mechanism in XML Schema 1.1

(b) the ability to export and import the compiled schema in an XML representation. This is useful both for performance - it's faster to load a schema from this representation that from raw XSDL schema documents; and also because the resulting export file is more amenable to application processing than handling raw XSDL. (However, more work needs to be done on documenting the format!)

(c) a revamp of the com.saxonica.Validate command line interface allowing validation of multiple instance documents against a schema built from multiple schema documents.

A free evaluation license is available, and a full license for schema processing only can be purchased for GBP 30 (about USD 63 as of a few minutes ago...)
