.NET 6 dotnet command line tools for XSLT 3.0 and XQuery 3.1 now build and run on Windows and MacOS

As Saxonica so far has not produced an open-source version of their Saxon XSLT 3.0, XQuery 3.1 and XPath 3.1 software for .NET (Core) 6, I (Martin Honnen) have continued to experiment with cross-compiling the existing Saxon HE 12.4 Java to .NET 6 with the help of IKVM.

With the progress in IKVM to support more platforms both as a build and run-time environment I am happy to report that the latest version of my dotnet tools/command line apps to run XSLT 3.0 or XQuery 3.1 under .NET 6 now both build and run on Windows and MacOS.

The latest releases are:

• dotnet tool for XSLT 3.0: https://www.nuget.org/packages/SaxonHE12NetXslt/
• dotnet tool for XQuery 3.1: https://www.nuget.org/packages/SaxonHE12NetXQuery/
• dotnet tool for XSLT 3.0 with Invisible XML support, thanks to CoffeeSacks also being IKVM cross-compiled to .NET: https://www.nuget.org/packages/SaxonHE12NetIXslt/
• dotnet tool for XQuery 3.1 with Invisible XML support, thanks to CoffeeSacks also being IKVM cross-compiled to .NET: https://www.nuget.org/packages/SaxonHE12NetIXQuery/
