libxslt

libxslt is the <a href="/facts/XSLT/0gw4WVyJ">XSLT</a> <a href="/facts/C_programming_language/Ky2No763">C</a> library developed for the <a href="/facts/GNOME/EFMNBmpR">GNOME</a> project. It provides an implementation of XSLT 1.0, plus most of the <a href="/facts/EXSLT/2C0z7yfJ">EXSLT</a> set of processor-portable extensions functions and some of <a href="/facts/Saxon_XSLT/1zTlL7A9">Saxon</a>'s evaluate and expressions extensions. libxslt is based on <a href="/facts/Libxml2/jxWA6GX1">libxml2</a>, which it uses for <a href="/facts/XML/clNgUfWk">XML</a> parsing, tree manipulation and <a href="/facts/XPath/0eCtJoj7">XPath</a> support. It is <a href="/facts/Free_software/IaoVtJXn">free software</a> released under the <a href="/facts/MIT_License/8llAQtlk">MIT License</a> and can be reused in commercial applications.
libxslt can be used either as library embedded into an application, or via the <a href="http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/xsltproc.html">xsltproc</a> command line tool. The integration into applications is eased by a multitude of <a href="http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/python.html">language bindings and wrappers</a>. Being written in C, libxslt is a fast and low-resource processor. This makes it a popular choice for <a href="/facts/DocBook/8RpRVfCQ">DocBook</a> formatting and as standard XSLT processor for <a href="/facts/Programming_language/cWTYbgWa">programming languages</a> like <a href="/facts/PHP/vU6YRJX0">PHP</a>, <a href="/facts/Perl/fx31kjlT">Perl</a> or <a href="/facts/Python_/YbuGqofa">Python</a>.
The <a href="/facts/WebKit/YrP9vbIj">WebKit</a> layout engine (used e.g. in the <a href="/facts/Apple_Safari/9R8v7tNl">Apple Safari</a> web browser) uses the libxslt library to do XSL transformations.
