General

What is X4O

X4O is not a language but a framework to create other XML language implementations.

What is the linence of X4O

X4O has an BSD style licence, to be compatible with wide range of software.

How do I turn on debug mode.

X4O can write all parsing steps in xml debug output file.

To setup set the following properties before parsing a document.

          TestParser parser = new TestParser();
          parser.setProperty(X4OLanguagePropertyKeys.DEBUG_OUTPUT_STREAM, new FileOutputStream(debugFile));
          parser.setProperty(X4OLanguagePropertyKeys.DEBUG_OUTPUT_ELD_PARSER, true); // optional
Can i use x4o for transforming xml

No, X4O had no built in xslt support.

But you can implement an transforming language yourself with X4O.
