This paper presents the development of a java library for bidirectional XML transformation. The transformation combinators in this library are high level in the sense that they allow programmers to perform transformation without writing code to traverse DOM tree. This library is expected to be easily accepted in practice due to its high level feature and its implementation in Java language. We have implemented a query engine for a subset of XQuery language with this library to demonstrate its usability. By using this engine, when the XML view from a query is updated, the modifications can be reflected back to source XML documents, which is a novel way to update XML views.
