Saxon-SA 8.0 is released today: this makes Saxon into a schema-aware XSLT 2.0 and XQuery 1.0 processor. In addition, Saxon-SA can also be used as a freestanding XML Schema processor. The product is available on commercial terms from http://www.saxonica.com/. A free 30-day evaluation license is available. The open-source version of Saxon has also been upgraded on SourceForge, but this does not offer schema processing. The schema processing and document validation code in Saxon is new, it's not just a wrapper around an existing implementation. For the schema analysis and checking side, I started with some code taken from Castor, but by the time I finished there was very little Castor code left. The validator is completely new code: it's a serial validator that fits into Saxon's push pipeline as part of the process of tree construction, or on the output side, that sits between the transformation engine and the serializer.
