AxKit 1.0 Released

October 2, 2000

AxKit, A mod_perl-based XML Application Server for Apache, has reached version 1.0 and has been officially released to the public via the project website at http://axkit.org. Employing a rich set of standards-compliant techniques as well as extensible scripting options, AxKit provides on-the-fly conversion from XML to a variety of other formats including HTML, WAP, and plain text. AxKit's notable technical features include the introduction of XPathScript, a powerful, Perl-based transformation language, built-in support for XSLT, "smart" caching and the easy creation of dynamic XML documents.

Owen Stenseth, Designer and Lead Developer at PDA Verticals Corporation, a company specializing in news sites for vertical markets within the PDA world has the following to say about AxKit:

"In general things have been going very well. Everyone is very happy with the new architecture. Overall, it's a keeper :-)"

In addition to its broad set of XML transformation choices, AxKit also provides developers with an impressive configuration interface that allows fine-grained control over such advanced options as dynamic stylesheet chaining, selection of alternate stylesheets based on a variety of conditions, and control over the output character sets of transformed documents.

AxKit is open source, free software, available under either the GNU GPL Version 2.0, or the Perl Artistic License.
