I am able to use XSLT 1.0 in Java as shown in the folllowing example :-

copy.xml

copy.xsl

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
      xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" >

  <xsl:template match="/ | @* | node()">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Copy.java

package com.data.transform;

import javax.xml.transform.Transformer;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource;

public class Copy {

    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
        StreamSource source = new StreamSource("copy.xml");
        StreamSource stylesource = new StreamSource("copy.xsl");

        TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
        Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer(stylesource);

        StreamResult result = new StreamResult(System.out);
        transformer.transform(source, result);
      }
}

Output

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="identityxfm.xsl"?><catalog>

But, now I want to use few things that are included in XSLT 2.0 and XSLT 3.0 (like xsl:analyze-string, xsl:try etc.) in Java. How can I do that ?

Use a Java library implementing that. Search the web to find one.Mcdevitt

Get Saxon 9 HE from Maven or Sourceforge and put it on the classpath, then you have XSLT 2.0 support with Saxon 9.x before 9.8 or XSLT 3.0 support (except streaming, higher order functions, xsl:evaluate, schema-awareness, backwards compatibility) with 9.8. For full XSLT 3.0 support you need to download Saxon 9 PE or EE from Saxonica and put it together with a license you buy or a trial licence you request on the classpath.

I did that. Now I am able to use XSLT 2, but I am still getting error for XSLT 3, as the keywords (that are introduced in XSLT 3) are not recognized. Any other way to use XSLT 3 in Java ?Oceanic
Please provide details as to what you did exactly, start by reading the documentation of Saxon, in particular saxonica.com/html/documentation/about/license to see and check whether you run PE or EE properly with a license. See also saxonica.com/html/documentation/using-xsl/embedding/…. If you still have problems post the details as to what you did and which error messages you get, preferably in the Saxon Help forum saxonica.plan.io/projects/saxon/boards or here with a new question tagged as saxon.Barfuss
