Mike Olson <mike.olson@fourthought.com> just announced an interactive XSLT
debugger and an XSLT profiler.
The interactive debugger has all the typical debugger features: stepping
through XSLT instructions, setting breakpoints, displaying arbitrary
expressions against the current context, etc.
From Mike's announcement
-----------------------------%------------------------------
4XDebug is a debugger for use with 4XSLT that has an interface similar
to gdb. It allows user to step through styleheet renderings and view
various states along the way. It also allows setting break points. For
a complete listing of what you can do see the documentation at:
http://services.4Suite.org/topics/rdf/Top/Documentation/Applications/4XDebug
You can download 4XDebug at
http://services.4Suite.org/software/rdf/4XDebug
-----------------------------%--------------------------------
The profiler breaks down performance by patterns, templates, paths, portions
of path (etc. How long are my descendant-or-self axis specifiers taking?)
A sample of the output is at
http://demos.4Suite.org/4XProfSample
From Mike's announcement
-----------------------------%------------------------------
4XProf is an application to profile stylesheets when using 4XSLT. It
has a similar command line to 4xslt, but generates an output XML file
with profiling information called profile.xml. There is a styleheet
that ships with 4XProf that will render the XML into a set of HTML
pages.
4XProf is available for download from
http://services.4Suite.org/software/rdf/4XProf
and online documentation is here:
