Feature #4806

Transforming JSON input
100%
Description
I propose to implement a -json option on the command line, as recently done for the Java product; this allows the principal input of the transformation to be JSON rather than XML.
To achieve this I propose to extend the SaxonJS.transform() API so that the options sourceLocation, sourceFileName, and sourceText can be JSON rather than XML; to indicate this we add another option sourceMediaType whose values can be application/xml or applicationi/jsonfor JSON, defaulting toapplication/xml`.
Note: it appears that the SaxonJS.transform() API supports a globalContextItem option that is missing from the documentation.

This feature is now implemented.
The command line now accepts a -json:filename argument as an alternative to the -s argument.
The transform() API (both sync and async versions) treat sourceFileName, sourceLocation, or sourceText as JSON if the sourceType:"json" option is specified.
