Hi all,
I'm evaluating BaseX as an alternative (and very attractive) platform for an XML/XSLT-based website that needs to be migrated from ASP.NET.
The website relies heavily on XSLT. Each page is generated on-the-fly with Saxon.NET, using a complex set of stylesheets. To get reasonable performance, stylesheets are compiled on first use and cached for subsequent requests.
This is crucial, as XSLT compilation is typically orders of magnitude slower than execution; without caching, the server would spend most of the time compiling the same stylesheets over and over again.
I was happy to find that BaseX can use Saxon, but as far as I can see, xslt:transform() does not cache compiled stylesheets. Can anyone confirm this?
If not, are there any plans to support stylesheet caching in the future?
Or is there a way to reuse compiled stylesheets manually?
Thanks, Tom De Herdt
