Welcome to XML Calabash (1.0)
Important
These are not the web pages you are looking for. Go to the home page and follow the links for XML Calabash 3.x. Or whatever seems most recent.
These are the archived pages for XML Calabash 1.x. As the release of XML Calabash 3.0, a complete reimplementation for XProc 3.x, approaches (circa October, 2024), it becomes less and less likely that there will be any more updates here.
These pages are preserved out of a sense of obligation to the past. Or something. I tried to fix all of the links, but I could have missed some.
XML Calabash is an implementation of XProc: An XML Pipeline Language.
See the XML Calabash GitHub project status page for more details.
You can download Calabash and/or read the documentation. Calabash also ships with the <oXygen/> xml editor (as does Saxon-EE which includes support for validation with W3C XML Schema).
There is a reference guide to XML Calabash.
Announcing…
XML Calabash releases are now automated. You can get them from GitHub or Maven Central.
(I changed the stylesheets that generate these pages to be more HTML5-ish. If you have problems in your browser, I'd be curious to hear about it.)
