Is there XML, XSLT, and XPATH support in the new Microsoft Edge browser?

Question

Does anyone have information about XML, XSLT, or XPATH support in the new Microsoft Edge browser?

In specific: When I use the JavaScript function transformToDocument(), it ends with the following error message: “Error in transformNode: Invalid argument”.

The same code is working with IE 10, IE 11, Chrome, Safari, etc., but unfortunately is not working with the new browser.

Answer 1

Microsoft Edge supports XSLT:

MSXML6 is the only version of MSXML implemented in Microsoft Edge, which uses it only to implement XSLT [W3C-XSLT].

XPath:

Microsoft Edge provides [XPATH] functionality natively; see [MS-XPATH] for more information.

and XML (XML DOM, XML Namespaces, XHTML and the responseXML property of the XMLHTTPRequest object).
