The Simple Tree Manipulation Language

STM is an XML tree manipulation language define by 1060 Research. It is designed to be a companion to XSLT and XQuery. STM is light-weight and very fast. It is focused on manipulating the tree structure of an XML document.

STM is provided as a service accessed with an operator parameter referencing the STM script and an operand parameter referencing the XML document to be manipulated.

active:stm+operator@{stm-script}+operand@{xml-document}

The result of an STM transform is a new resource which can be mapped to a URI address. Pipelined transforms make it easy to create filters, generate views on data, or style data for presentation.

Reference

The stm accessor is based on the DOMXDA representation.
