XsltEx

Current Version

Elixir library based on KlausTrainer/erl_xslt to provide native XSLT transformation capabilities.

Installation

If available in Hex, the package can be installed by adding xslt_ex to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:xslt_ex, "~> 0.1.0"}
  ]
end

Requirements

To use this library you need to be able to compile a C software that makes use of libxslt library, so:

  • GCC or similar
  • Make
  • libxslt (including headers and source)

Usage

To use it, just call:

{:ok, result} = XsltEx.transform(path_to_your_xslt, xml_binary_data)

If something fails, it will return a tuple {:error, reason}.

Disclaimer

This library uses a NIF, which means it can heavily break you Erlang VM if something goes wrong.

TODO

  1. Add variables.
  2. Investigate random segmentation faults.
  3. Tests
