public final class Extension
extends Object

To use Diff-X as an XSLT extension.

In Saxon, declare the namespace as:

 <xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:diffx="com.topologi.diffx.Extension"
    extension-element-prefixes="diffx"
 >
 

Diff-X can be called within XSLT with:

 <xsl:copy-of select="diffx:diff(/node1/to/compare, /node2/to/compare, 'IGNORE', 'TEXT')"/>
 

Note: the method signatures requires DOM arguments, include the Saxon-DOM jar on your classpath to use this extension function with Saxon.
