• Removing XSLT from Chromium

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Thu Nov 6 06:40:07 2025

    Mason Freed and Dominik Röttsches have published a document
    with a timeline and plans for removing Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) from the Chromium project and Chrome
    browser:

    Chromium has officially deprecated XSLT, including the XSLTProcessor
    JavaScript API and the XML stylesheet processing instruction. We
    intend to remove support from version 155 (November 17, 2026). The
    Firefox and WebKit projects have also indicated plans to remove XSLT
    from their browser engines. This document provides some history and
    context, explains how we are removing XSLT to make Chrome safer, and
    provides a path for migrating before these features are removed from
    the browser.

    LWN covered the Web
    Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG) discussion
    about XSLT in August.
