Existing solutions

Typical approaches:

• Domain-specific XML transformation languages (eg. XSLT)
• XML frameworks for general-purpose languages (eg. JDOM in Java)

Problems:

• Low-level operations
• Poor runtime performance
• Little or no check of validity

Our goals:

• Efficient high-level XML transformations in a general-purpose language (Java)
• Compile-time guarantees that the dynamically transformed XML documents are valid according to a given XML schema
