As a sort of learning exercise I think I might have a go at porting XSLTXT to C#. This will have to be more than just a straight translation of code as the .NET apis for reading XML are different from the Java ones. In .NET Microsoft has implemented a pull type api. An application program makes calls to the parser to retrieve the next node they are interested in. Java uses SAX and application programs use listeners to handle events issued by the parser. The claim is that a pull api is easier for application programmers to handle. This may be true but I think it's going to be harder to write an XSLTXT parser to support a pull api as now I'll have to handle the state of the parse rather than letting the application do that.
