XProc is a W3C Recommendation to define an XML transformation language to define XML Pipelines.

Below is an example abbreviated XProc file:
<p:pipeline name="pipeline" xmlns:p="http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc" version="1.0">
<p:input port="schemas" sequence="true"/>
<p:xinclude/>
<p:validate-with-xml-schema>
<p:input port="schema">
<p:pipe step="pipeline" port="schemas"/>
</p:input>
</p:validate-with-xml-schema>
</p:pipeline>
This is a pipeline that consists of two atomic steps, XInclude and Validate. The pipeline itself has three inputs, “source” (a source document), “schemas” (a list of W3C XML Schemas) and “parameters” (for passing parameters). The XInclude step reads the pipeline input “source” and produces a result document. The Validate step reads the pipeline input “schemas” and the output from the XInclude step and produces a result document. The result of the validation, “result”, is the result of the pipeline.
Here is an equivalent less abbreviated XProc pipeline:
<p:pipeline name="pipeline" xmlns:p="http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc"
version="1.0">
<p:input port="schemas" sequence="true"/>
<p:xinclude name="included">
<p:input port="source">
<p:pipe step="pipeline" port="source"/>
</p:input>
</p:xinclude>
<p:validate-with-xml-schema name="validated">
<p:input port="source">
<p:pipe step="included" port="result"/>
</p:input>
<p:input port="schema">
<p:pipe step="pipeline" port="schemas"/>
</p:input>
</p:validate-with-xml-schema>
</p:pipeline>

gollark: However, this is inefficient. If you want to serve 12904172408718240 concurrent connections, you don't want to have one thread for each, especially if each one isn't used that much.
gollark: You simply do a thing, and wait for it to finish, in your thread.
gollark: That is the normal uncool kind of IO.
gollark: So, synchronous IO.
gollark: This isn't Rust, this is a Rust library, and what?
