Hi,

I have been trying out the EXSLT.NET implementation using the
GotDotNet.Exslt.dll and would like to know of its usability in terms of
load (e.g. ability to handle and transform large xml files) and on any
known issues in using the .net version of exslt.

Thanks and Regards,

Adil

HI Adil,

Realistically the load won't be any greater than the standard xml.xslt
object within .NET anyway. Essentially it will be down to the
complexity of the xsl transformation rules as well as the XML document
you are passing it.

I know that the new esxlt dll superclasses the standard xsl one from
the .NET framework so it has the same base code. Ultimately the new
exslt functions are just shortcuts to be able to do certain tasks
rather than have to use the import stuff which is the other option
using standard xsl to get the same functionality.

I haven't tried it yet but my guess is that for standard
transformations it won't be any slower once loaded into memory.
