What's about XQuery 1.0 ?
- XQuery 1.0 and XSLT 2.0 are the same!! ... well not exactly
- Same semantic but different users => different requirements
- Relatively small queries, huge input sources
- Performance against many many source documents is
critical
- Stylesheet can be big (docbook)
- Performance has been less of a focus at the language design
level
- Other differences:
- No serialization parameters in XQuery
- Regular expression more powerful in XSLT
- More functions to manipulate dates in XSLT
- Better typechecking in XQuery
