Re: Are there XSLT processors that support EXI?

There is an EXI implementation called Exificent. This is supported in
eXist-db.

If you invoke your XSLT from XQuery (e.g. fn:transform or
transform:transform) in eXist-db, eXist-db will send the XSLT through
Saxon, the results will be available in the calling XQuery as an XDM
instance, you may then ask eXist-db to serialize the result as EXI.

So if you don't mind a little more overhead you can use Saxon with EXI
output through eXist-db.

implementations of the SAX API that consume EXI; and if you have one component
that offers a SAX API and another that requires a SAX API, then you can plug
them together even though they weren't built on top of each other.
