Thin .NET 6/8 console app/dotnet tool around IKVM cross-compiled .NET version of Saxon-HE 12.5 Java, extended with CoffeeSacks 3.2.6 Invisible XML extension

This tool is a .NET 6/8 console app/a dotnet tool providing a thin .NET 6/8 wrapper around an IKVM cross-compiled version of Saxon HE 12.5 Java to perform XSLT 3.0 transformations.

This is one of the sample projects outlining my successful attempt to apply https://github.com/ikvm-revived/ikvm and https://github.com/ikvm-revived/ikvm-maven to use the open-source Saxon HE 12.5 Java XSLT 3.0, XQuery 3.1 and XPath 3.1 library in .NET 6/8 code, in this case additionally adding a also cross-compiled Java library CoffeeSacks 3.2.6 for Invisible XML support.

Please understand that this is my own experiment, it uses the official Saxon HE 12.5 release from Maven, but the integration with IKVM and IKVM Maven is an experimental work of my own, not in any way an officially tested and supported product by Saxonica, the company that has produced Saxon.

Feel free to use to try and use it under the Mozilla Public License 2.0.

The releases can be found later on NuGet.

Understand that this is work in progress and kind of experimental, I don't have access to a complete test suite of unit tests to rigorously test this, I nevertheless feel it can be useful for folks to at least know about this option to run XSLT 3.0 with .NET 6 or later, without depending on the so far commercial only SaxonCS from Saxonica.

Known issues: I have created the project with VS 2022 Community Edition on Windows, apps built that way could be deployed and run successfully under Linux or Mac where the dotnet .NET 6/8 runtime is installed; by now, the latest https://github.com/ikvm-revived/ikvm-maven seems to work on a Mac, so in experiments of your own you should be able to develop and build on Windows and MacOS.
