3. The SaxonJS Object

The interface between the browser (JavaScript) and the stylesheet (compiled XSLT), is the SaxonJS object.

(I promise you don’t need to know JavaScript to understand this.)

• You can get information out of the SaxonJS object, or make it do things on your behalf, by calling “methods” on it. (That’s a technical way of saying you write SaxonJS.something() in a script element.)

• SaxonJS.getProcessorInfo() returns information about the SaxonJS processor.

• SaxonJS.transform() runs a transformation. (We’re going to use this one a lot.)

• There are others; all the gory details are in Appendix A, API Quick References.
