You may have a license for our MBS FileMaker Plugin, so you may be interested to use more XML features.

Since FileMaker has only built-in XSLT 1.0, you may enjoy the enhancements of XSLT 3.0 with way more options.

You can use the Saxon library in your projects with MBS Plugin to work on XML:

• XSLT 3.0 for transformations
• XQuery 3.1 for queries
• XSD 1.1 for document validation
• XPath 3.1 for navigation within documents

See our Saxon functions in the documentation.

You can get a Pro or Enterprise Validation license from us.

If you implement ZUGFeRD, X-Rechnung or Factur-X for electrical invoices, you can use Saxon functions for

• Displaying electronic invoices by transforming the XML to a HTML document and show it in a Web Viewer
• Use the schema validation to validate the XML structure of the invoice.
• Use XSLT to transform a XML record with the data for the invoice into the required XML for the invoice.
• Use the XSLT to apply business rules on the invoice to check if fields have correct values.
• Use a XSLT to transform the report of the validation to HTML and display it in a web viewer.

The Saxon functions can help you a lot here.

Please let us know if you have questions. More details on our website.

PS: We will include Saxon 12.9 update in the 15.5 plugin version.
