XACT - Type-safe XML Transformation in Java

Xact is a Java-based system for programming XML transformations. The main features of Xact are:

XML templates as immutable values
optional type annotations using XML Schema declarations (based on the dk.brics.schematools package)
static analysis for ensuring type safety
full integration with the Java language
an efficient runtime system

Xact version 3.0 is currently under development. The new version contains a redesigned API. See the full javadoc or the main interface to the runtime system. Jar files are available here.
