    - XML Transformation with XSLT
      This type of transformation specifies the transformation parameters and location of an XSLT stylesheet that is applied to the edited XML document. This scenario is useful when you develop an XML document and the XSLT document is in its final form.
    - XML Transformation with XQuery
      This type of transformation specifies the transform parameters and location of an XQuery file that is applied to the edited XML document.
    - XML to PDF Transformation with CSS
      This type of transformation uses the Oxygen PDF Chemistry processing engine to obtain PDF output by applying CSS styling to the edited XML document. This scenario is useful for those who are familiar with CSS and want to obtain PDF output as its final form.
    - DITA-OT Transformation
      This type of transformation specifies the parameters for an Ant transformation that executes a DITA-OT build script. Oxygen XML Developer includes a built-in version of Ant and a built-in version of DITA-OT, but other versions can be set in the scenario.
    - Ant Transformation
      This type of transformation allows you to configure the options and parameters of an Ant build script.
    - JSON Transformation with XSLT
      This type of transformation specifies the transformation parameters and location of an XSLT stylesheet that is applied to the edited JSON document. This scenario is useful when you develop a JSON document and the XSLT document is in its final form.
    - XSLT Transformation on XML
      This type of transformation specifies the parameters and location of an XML document that the edited XSLT stylesheet is applied on. This scenario is useful when you develop an XSLT document and the XML document is in its final form.
    - XSLT Transformation on JSON
      This type of transformation specifies the parameters and location of a JSON document that the edited XSLT stylesheet is applied on. This scenario is useful when you develop an XSLT document and the JSON document is in its final form.
    - XProc Transformation
      This type of transformation specifies the parameters and location of an XProc script.
    - XQuery Transformation
      This type of transformation specifies the parameters and location of an XML source that the edited XQuery file is applied on.
    - SQL Transformation
      This type of transformation specifies a database connection for the database server that runs the SQL file associated with the scenario. The data processed by the SQL script is located in the database.

XProc Tab

When you create a new transformation scenario or edit an existing one, a configuration dialog box is displayed that allows you to customize the transformation with various options in several tabs.

The XProc tab contains the following options:

XProc URL: Specify the source XProc file to be used by the transformation. You can specify the path by using the text field, its history drop-down, the Insert Editor Variables button, or the browsing actions in the Browse drop-down list. This URL is resolved through the catalog resolver. If the catalog does not have a mapping for the URL, the file is used directly from its remote location.
Processor: Allows you to select the XProc engine to be used for the transformation. You can select the Add-on for Calabash XProc engine or a custom engine that is configured in the XProc Preferences page.
