xslt : parsing and transforming

[egelderen]

Hi all,

I am using the XSLT functions.
Is there a way of seperating the parsing of the xml document and the actual transforming?

Best regards,

You can parse it using DOM:

Thank you. I am aware of this.
But what about this:
I have ONE xml document that needs to be transformed several times using Sablotron.
The problem is that xslt_process() has the parse the xml document each time.
It would be great if xslt can keep the parsed xml document in memory, so that it needs to parse the xml document only once.
