XSLT 3.0: A Major Upgrade for XML Transformations

XSLT 3.0 isn't just an incremental update; it elevates XSLT from an XML transformation tool to a general-purpose transformation language for common data formats like JSON and XML. It introduces JSON support with `json-to-xml()` and `xml-to-json()` functions for seamless conversion. Further improvements include simplified syntax with text value templates (TVTs), dynamic XPath expression evaluation, functions, typed variables, function packages, and exception handling, boosting code readability and maintainability. XSLT 3.0 also supports streaming and performance optimizations, making it ideal for large-scale data streams.
