XSL Transformations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1749 words) |
 | XSLT was produced as a result of the Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) development effort within W3C during 1998–1999, which also produced XSL Formatting Objects (XSL-FO) and the XML Path Language, XPath. |
| XSLT relies upon the W3C's XPath language for identifying subsets of the source document tree, as well as for performing calculations. |
| XSLT stylesheets are declarative, not procedural; rather than defining a sequence of operations to execute, they define rules and other hints applied during processing, according to a fixed algorithm. |
| Rescuing XSLT from Niche Status (1946 words) |
| XSLT is one of the most exciting technologies to come out of the XML family. |
| As a programmer with more than 20 years experience with over a dozen languages, XSLT templates and default rules were not obvious to me. Over the past year or two I had looked at numerous examples trying to discern how they worked. |
| For XSLT to be successful it must be presented and used in a way that adopts those attributes discussed earlier (reuse of knowledge, fast start, and gradualism). |
