XSLT Transform

This lesson is part of XML · All levels

Summary

The XSLT transformation is done by pairing XML source documents and XSL stylesheets into XSLT processors, and then generating a new output tree such as HTML or other XML. The <xsl:output> element determines the output type, while the value-of, for-each, and apply-templates collect data. With XSLT, data presentations can be completely modified without touching the original XML file.

The result is a new document, like HTML.
Xsl:output determines the method and encoding of the output
Value-of takes the contents of the node, for-each iterates
