Saxon GraalVM Native Image called from C++

The purpose of this repository is to show a proof of concept on how to use the Saxon XSLT engine from C++, without using the Saxon C distribution. This is possible through GraalVM Native Image which allows the creation of a shared library (.so) containing a nativly compiled version of your Java function.

Getting Started

Examine and run thefull_build.sh that will build the Saxon native library, build the C++ executable application, and run it.
