19.5 Extending XSLT Processing with EXSLT.NET
XSLT is a powerful tool for processing and transforming XML, and it has a rich set of operations to identify and transform nodes. However, it lacks some simple functions that .NET programmers take for granted. For example, there’s no way to make use of dates and times, regular expressions, or simple string object manipulations.
EXSLT.NET is a library of extension objects that support XSLT extension functions defined by the EXSLT community initiative (http://www.exslt.org). The EXSLT initiative is an effort to standardize extensions to XSLT 1.0 so that a wider range of XSLT engines can make use of stylesheets with extensions.
EXSLT.NET implements functions in many categories: Dates and Times, Functions, Math, Random, Regular Expressions, Sets, and Strings. It is actively being developed for .NET 2.0, but a version is available for .NET 1.1.
