I'm pleased to announce the last release of RefleX, a multi-purpose XML 
engine that will allow you to write native XML programs.

http://reflex.gforge.inria.fr/
The engine runs with Java 1.4.2 and above

RefleX works like XSLT, but instead of having a single instruction set, 
the system can host severals
You could read the basics here :

====== Key features ======

-Browse X-operable objects : you will be able to apply XPath expressions 
on non-XML objects such as a file system : for example, "//*" will 
select all the files under a context directory
Example:
http://reflex.gforge.inria.fr/tutorial-basics.html#xslt

-Run XML pipelines and filters : you will be able to apply XPath 
patterns on SAX streams and raw-text
Example:
http://reflex.gforge.inria.fr/tutorial-pipelinesAndFilters.html

-Leverage your schemas : you will be able to express algorithmic rules 
and co-occurrence constraints with the Active Schema Language, and 
design a semantic data type
http://reflex.gforge.inria.fr/tutorial-schemas.html

-Test with XUnit : if your application is dealing with XML datas, why 
not design XUnit test suites for comparing 2 XML documents ?
Example:
http://reflex.gforge.inria.fr/xunit.html#xunitStepByStep

-Design macro tags : design your own libraries with XPath functions and 
custom active tags ; you can supply their implementation either with a 
Java class or with other tags (macros)
Example:

Enjoy !

====== RefleX live ======
