XSLT covers more then 100 built-in functions. There are functions for string values, numeric values, date and time
comparison, node, sequence manipulation, Boolean value, generate random id and
much more.
The URI for the XSLT functions namespace is:
https://www.w3.org/2005/02/xpath-functions
Default prefix for the XSLT Functions namespace is used as fn.
XSLT Functions are often called with the fn prefix, such as fn:document(). However, since fn:
is the default prefix of the namespace, the function names do not need to be prefixed when called
in XSLT.
