What is Kernow? Kernow is an open source tool designed to make it faster and easier to repeatedly run transforms using Saxon. It uses compiled stylesheets, multiple threads and caching resolvers to make the transforms run efficiently, and comboboxes that remember between runs to save your fingers having to retype paths. Kernow is runnable from Ant allowing it to slot into your build process, and its a high level API for Saxon making it very easy to run transforms from your own Java applications.
