libslax xutil Extension Library

The xutil extension library contains functions that convert between strings and XML node sets. To incorporate functions from the xutil extension library into SLAX scripts, include the namespace statement for that library in the script.

ns xutil extension = "http://xml.libslax.org/xutil";

Call the xutil extension functions using the xutil prefix and the function name. Table 1 lists the functions available in the xutil extension library and which are supported in SLAX 1.1 scripts.
