Using XSLT and transforming XML documents

All the languages in which you do the programming give some sort of method to do the transformation of the XML documents to other forms. You can use the DOM to do the transformation if you are using JavaScript or PHP.

Namespaces meant for this purpose are available in ASP.Net. Namespace like System.Xml, System.Xml.Xsl, System.Xml.Xpath are available in .Net. You can use the classes and the methods available in them to do the transformation.

With these namespace included, you can create an XslTransform object use the methods like Load, and Transform to load the XSL document and to the transformation.

If you are using the DOM, you have to create to document objects. One is for loading the XML source and the other is for loading the XSL file.

Then you can do the transformation using the method available for that purpose. You can also allow the browser to do the transformation without writing any code for transformation, if you include the XSL file in the XML file itself using the tag like "xml-stylesheet" which has an attribute 'href' to include the name of the XSL file.

Vale Java? Scala Vala palava - and Go too
Dave Megginson (who drove the development of the SAX API that will be familiar to many XML developers who use Java) recently wrote Java is dead. Java stood out as a programming language (though not as a platform) in that...

Modify generated XSLT 1.0 with the xsl:namespace element
Edmond Woychowsky shares a trick for modifying generated XSLT 1.0 without worrying about someone regenerating the map. He also throws in a couple of Star Trek references for good measure.
