XSL Transformations

XSL transformations from XML to any desired format happen through a series of attempts to match patterns in the XML data.

Many XSL transformations may exist already, or developer skills may be best suited to creating transformations using this language.

More specifically, Web-based reporting applications usually use XSL transformations to present this XML data to different clients.

These tools include an editor and a debugger for XSL transformations.

An interesting and powerful feature of DWS is the capability to apply server-side XSL transformations to Web service requests and responses.

This flexibility allows you to write XSL that outputs data in any format that XSL transformations support.

Unlike HTML, the combination of XML documents with XSL transformations enables the separation of data from presentation.

To turn this feed into HTML, you can process it using XSL transformations.

The rest of this section assumes knowledge of XSLT, the XSL Transformations language.

Even when considering the most basic components of XSL transformations, their capabilities are remarkable.

An XML format can easily support payload transformations by allowing the client to request XSL transformations.

The wrapper class also handles XSL transformations, namespaces and schema validation if needed.

The first component of XSL is known as XSL Transformations or XSLT.

GRDDL can use XSL transformations to extract specific vocabularies from a Web page.

XSLTC works by compiling a stylesheet into Java byte code, called a translet. The translet is later used to perform XSL transformations.

It assumes that you are familiar with XSL transformations.

This article provided a client-side solution based on XSL transformations for internationalizing XML content.

This walkthrough will illustrate how to use the Xml server control to display XML information using XSL transformations.

This tutorial shows you how to apply XSL transformations to input and output messages to enable a variety of clients.

Next, you will add two XSL transformations to your project.

I like to think of XSLT (XSL Transformations) as a simple and effective scripting language to manipulate XML documents.

For security reasons, Reporting Services does not support XSL transformations with embedded Microsoft Visual Basic code.
