The Functional Programming Language XSLT - A proof through examples

Major FP design patterns/functions in XSLT

In this section we provide the XSLT implementation of many of the functions defined in John Hughes paper "Why functional programming matters" [1]. We provide numerous implementations of list-processing functions, and of a very generic tree-folding function and other functions that are based on it. We also demonstrate how lazy evaluation can be simulated in XSLT.

Implemented Functions

The following table contains the names of all functions (in chronological order), whose XSLT implementation are provided as part of this article.
