UsEE Too is a document transformation utility built for structured XML processing workflows. It sits between raw XML input and formatted output, providing a streamlined interface for applying XSLT stylesheets, validating document structure, and producing consistent output across processing runs.
What UsEE Too Does
UsEE Too handles the operational layer of XML transformation: loading documents, applying stylesheets, managing output formats, and reporting processing results. It is designed for workflows where the transformation logic lives in XSLT stylesheets but the orchestration, file handling, error collection, and batch management need a dedicated tool.
The utility supports:
- Single-document and batch transformation modes
- Configurable stylesheet selection and parameter passing
- Output format management (HTML, XML, text)
- Processing reports with timing and error summaries
- Integration with schema validation steps
Operating Context
UsEE Too fits into document processing pipelines where manual transformation invocation is impractical. Common operating contexts include:
Development workstations. Use UsEE Too to test stylesheet changes against a set of sample documents without writing shell scripts or build system configurations. The tool handles the file management and reports results in a consistent format.
Batch processing environments. Configure UsEE Too to process a directory of XML documents against a specified stylesheet, collecting results and errors. The batch mode is designed for scenarios where thousands of documents need transformation with the same stylesheet.
CI/CD integration. Include UsEE Too in a build pipeline to validate that transformation outputs match expected results. The exit codes and structured reporting support automated quality checks.

Release Notes
Recent updates focus on processing reliability and integration improvements:
- Improved error reporting for stylesheet compilation failures
- Added configurable output encoding (UTF-8, UTF-16, ISO-8859-1)
- Batch mode now supports recursive directory scanning
- Processing time reporting now includes per-document and aggregate statistics
Getting Started
- Ensure a compatible JVM is installed (Java 11 or later recommended).
- Place the UsEE Too jar file in your project’s tools directory.
- Run a basic transformation: specify the input XML, the XSLT stylesheet, and the output location.
- Review the processing report for timing data and any validation or transformation errors.
