 1) This Xalan-J release named 'xslt3.0_alpha1', provides XSLT 3.0 and XPath 3.1 language various feature implementations. 
 
 2) The list of Jira issues addressed by this Xalan-J release, are available here, https://xalan.apache.org/xalan-j/xsl3/release/alpha1/xalanj_xslt3.0_alpha1_jira_issue_list.pdf

 5) Xalan XSLT 3.0 development code’s latest conformance results with W3C XSLT 3.0 test suite, are available here : https://github.com/apache/xalan-java/blob/xalan-j_xslt3.0_mvn/src/test/java/org/apache/xalan/tests/w3c/xslt3/result/w3c_xslt3_testsuite_xalan-j_result.xml
 
+6) Xalan-J XSLT 3.0 implementation, contains copy of software code from Java org.json library, to help implement XPath 3.1 functions that use JSON documents.
+   This has been helpful for Xalan-J project, to be able to reuse org.json library's JSON document parse support. Xalan-J has little bit modified org.json 
+   library's Java classes org.json.JSONObject & org.json.JSONParserConfiguration for Xalan-J XPath 3.1 JSON function implementations.    
+
+7) Xalan-J XSLT 3.0 implementation, contains copy of small parts of Eclipse WTP (Web Tools Platform) project XPath 2.0 processor implementation's
+   XML Schema data type classes. The design reuse for these XML Schema data type classes has been helpful for Xalan-J XSLT 3.0 project implementation, 
+   The code for these Java classes have been modified little bit by Xalan-J project to add XPath context information and XSLT transformation exception handling.
+   Few of Xalan-J team members who're also Xerces-J project committers, have previously contributed to WTP XPath 2.0 project src code.
