## Overview

XDF3 Transformer is a GUI-based Java tool for applying XSLT transformations to XDF3 files, using Saxon-HE. Its documented results include quality reports, visualizations, comparisons, schemas, and JSON. The repository contains only packaged binaries and documentation, so implementation paths and finer internal call relationships cannot be verified; paths are therefore null.
