Hi, Saxon on the Java Platform would work fine on the command-line, but as Liam said you have the Java runtime startup. Alternatively Saxon/C could equally fit your requirements. It is cross compiled to native library, which can be run on the command-line using C/C++. Saxon/C also comes with Python extension API. kind regards, O'Neil > On 12 Dec 2019, at 22:37, Steven D.
