April 9, 2020

Submitted by Philip Fearon.

We're pleased to announce the first pre-release of XPath-Embedded.

This is an XML-focused extension for the VSCode Code Editor.

XPath-Embedded is an open-source project managed by DeltaXML. Here are the base features for this early-stage project:

  • XSLT 3.0 / XPath 3.1 Syntax Highlighter
    • Single-pass character-by-character lexer for performance/accuracy
  • Support for proposed XSLT 4.0 additions implemented in Saxon 10.0
  • XML, XSLT and XPath code-formatting:
    • Format As-You-Type
    • Format Document
    • Format Selection
    • Format On Paste
  • Integration through VSCode Tasks with the Saxon XSLT Processor (9.9 or later)
    • Compile-time or run-time warnings/errors highlighted in the code
    • Navigate errors/warnings via the Problems Pane
    • Tasks allow multiple configurations of xsl:param settings etc.

The .vsix vscode-extension file can be downloaded from the Releases page.

Please submit issues, feature requests etc. via the GitHub project page. Pull-Requests are very welcome too of course.
