This specification defines the syntax and semantics of XSLT 2.0, a language for transforming XML documents into other XML documents.
XSLT 2.0 is a revised version of the XSLT 1.0 Recommendation [XSLT 1.0] published on 16 November 1999.
XSLT 2.0 is designed to be used in conjunction with XPath 2.0, which is defined in [XPath 2.0]. XSLT shares the same data model as XPath 2.0, which is defined in [Data Model], and it uses the library of functions and operators defined in [Functions and Operators].
XSLT 2.0 also includes optional facilities to serialize the results of a transformation, by means of an interface to the serialization component described in [XSLT and XQuery Serialization].
This document contains hyperlinks to specific sections or definitions within other documents in this family of specifications. These links are indicated visually by a superscript identifying the target specification: for example XP for XPath, DM for the XDM data model, FO for Functions and Operators.

This specification defines the syntax and semantics of XSLT 3.0, a language for transforming XML documents into other XML documents.
XPath is an expression language that allows the processing of values conforming to the data model defined in the XQuery and Xpath Data Model.
XPath and XQuery Functions and Operators 3.0 defines a library of functions available for use in XPath, XQuery, XSLT and other languages.
The XPath and XQuery Data Model (XDM) 3.1 defines the data model on which all operations of XPath 3.1, XQuery 3.1, and XSLT 3.1 operate.
This document defines serialization of an instance of the XQuery and XPath Data model Data Model into a sequence of octets, such as into XML, text, HTML, JSON.
This document defines the syntax and formal semantics of XQuery and XPath Full Text 3.0, which is a language that extends XQuery 3.0 [XQuery 3.0: An XML Query Language] and XPath 3.0 [XML Path Language (XPath) 3.0] with full-text search capabilities.
XPath 3.0 (renamed from XPath 2.1 to align with the family of "3.0" specifications) is an expression language that allows the processing of values conforming to the data model defined in [XQuery and XPath Data Model (XDM) 3.0]. Some of the important new features since XPath 2.0 are:
- Literal function items, inline functions, dynamic function invocations, and function item coercion
- Clarification of rules associated with sequence type matching
- let expressions
- EQNames (QNames with a namespace URI instead of a namespace prefix)
- Support for union types in casting and function arguments
XPath and XQuery Functions and Operators 3.0 (renamed from XPath and XQuery Functions and Operators 1.1 to align with the family of "3.0" specifications) defines a library of functions available for use in XPath 3.0, XQuery 3.0, and XSLT 3.0. Some of the new features since XPath 2.0 and XQuery 1.0 Functions and Operators include:
- More than 30 new functions have been added, including functions transferred from the XSLT 2.0 specification into Functions and Operators 3.0 and additional versions of existing functions with different signatures
- The syntax for regular expressions was enhanced to allow for non-capturing groups; additionally, a new flag value was added for regular-expression-related functions that accept a flag argument
- Support for function items has been added in the form of a number of new functions
- The description of fn:error was rewritten to accommodate the addition of try/catch capabilities in XQuery 3.0
XPath and XQuery Data Model (XDM) 3.0 (renamed from XPath and XQuery Functions and Operators (XDM) 1.1 to align with the family of "3.0" specifications) defines the data model on which all operations of XPath 3.0, XQuery 3.0, and XSLT 3.0 operate. In this version of XDM, two new data types have been added:
- From XML Schema 1.1 Part 2 (Datatypes), the xs:dateTimeStamp data type
- To support XPath 3.0's and XQuery 3.0's function item capabilities, a function item data type
XSLT and XQuery Serialization 3.0 (renamed from XQueryX 1.1 to align with the family of "3.0" specifications) defines serialization of an instance of XDM 3.0 into a sequence of octets. Important new features in Serialization 3.0 include:
- Supports serialization of function items
- Adds a definition of a suppress-indentation serialization parameter
- Clarifies how minimized attributes, as well as the "script" and "style" elements, are handled under the rules of the HTML output method
This document defines the syntax and formal semantics of XQuery and XPath Full Text 1.0 which is a language that extends XQuery 1.0 [XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language] and XPath 2.0 [XML Path Language (XPath) 2.0] with full-text search capabilities.
XPath is a way to refer to parts of an XML document. XPath 2.0 is based on the XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model (XDM), and also introduces Schema awareness and data typing.
This document defines the W3C XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model (XDM), which is the data model of [XPath 2.0], [XSLT 2.0], and [XQuery], and any other specifications that reference it. This data model is based on the [XPath 1.0] data model and earlier work on an [XML Query Data Model]. This document is the result of joint work by the [XSL Working Group] and the [XML Query Working Group].
This document defines formally the semantics of XQuery 1.0 [XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language] and XPath 2.0 [XML Path Language (XPath) 2.0].
This document defines constructor functions, operators and functions on the datatypes defined in [XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes Second Edition] and the datatypes defined in [XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model]. It also discusses functions and operators on nodes and node sequences as defined in the [XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model]. These functions and operators are defined for use in [XML Path Language (XPath) 2.0], [XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language] and [XSL Transformations (XSLT) Version 2.0] and other related XML standards. The signatures and summaries of functions defined in this document are available at: http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions.
This document defines serialization of an instance of the data model as defined in [XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model] into a sequence of octets. Serialization is designed to be a component that can be used by other specifications such as [XSL Transformations (XSLT) Version 2.0] or [XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language].

This specification defines the features and syntax for the Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL), a language for expressing stylesheets. It consists of two parts:
-
a language for transforming XML documents (XSLT), and
-
an XML vocabulary for specifying formatting semantics.
An XSL stylesheet specifies the presentation of a class of XML documents by describing how an instance of the class is transformed into an XML document that uses the formatting vocabulary.

This specification defines the syntax and semantics of XSLT, which is a language for transforming XML documents into other XML documents.
XSLT is designed for use as part of XSL, which is a stylesheet language for XML. In addition to XSLT, XSL includes an XML vocabulary for specifying formatting. XSL specifies the styling of an XML document by using XSLT to describe how the document is transformed into another XML document that uses the formatting vocabulary.
XSLT is also designed to be used independently of XSL. However, XSLT is not intended as a completely general-purpose XML transformation language. Rather it is designed primarily for the kinds of transformations that are needed when XSLT is used as part of XSL.
Notes
