XML

Mozilla provides a number of XML features. The nsIXMLHttpRequest, nsIDOMParser nsIDOMSerializer interfaces can be used to load, parse and serialize XML. These interfaces are directly available in JavaScript, so you don't need to use the XPCOM interfaces direcly.

Use the nsIXSLTProcessor interface to apply an XSLT file to a document. Use the nsIXPointerEvaluator and nsIFIXPtrEvaluator interfaces to evaluate XPointers and FIXPtrs.
