    XSLT is a language for transforming XML documents into other XML documents. It is designed to transform XML documents into other XML documents or other formats like HTML and plain text. XSLT uses template rules to describe how to transform matching elements. Templates can be applied recursively to transform the source document. XSLT supports features like conditional processing, repetition, and creating result trees using elements like value-of and element. Stylesheets are associated with XML documents and XSLT is used to transform them.

    What is XSLT?
    A language for transforming XML documents into other XML documents

    Designed for use both as part of XSL and independently of XSL


    Not intended as a completely generalpurpose XML transformation language. [W3C XSLT Recommendation]

    XSLT Process

    XSLT Status
    W3C Recommendation - November 16, 1999

    Version 1.0

    XML Stylesheet Recommendation

    XSLT Stylesheet Element


    <stylesheet version = 1.0> <transform> allowed as synonym

    XSLT Template Element


    <template match = expression name = name priority = number mode = name>

    Applying Templates
    <apply-templates select = expression mode = name> <call-template name = name>

    Example 1
    <?xml version="1.0"?> <?xml-stylesheet href="style1.xsl type="text/xsl"?> <items> <item partNum="123-AB"> <productName>Porsche</productName> <quantity>1</quantity> </item> <item> <productName>Ferrari</productName> <quantity>2</quantity> </item> </items> <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet version=1.0 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR /WD-xsl"> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <head></head> <body> <ol> <li>Root</li> <xsl:apply-templates/> </ol> </body> </html> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="items"> <li>Items</li> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="item"> <li>Item: <xsl:value-of select="productName"/></li> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>

    Example 1

    Example 2
    <?xml version="1.0"?> <?xml-stylesheet href="style2.xsl type="text/xsl"?> <items> <item partNum="123-AB"> <productName>Porsche</productName> <quantity>1</quantity> </item> <item> <productName>Ferrari</productName> <quantity>2</quantity> </item> </items> <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet version=1.0 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR /WD-xsl"> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <head></head> <body> <ol> <xsl:apply-templates/> <li>Root</li> </ol> </body> </html> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="items"> <xsl:apply-templates/> <li>Items</li> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="item"> <li>Item: <xsl:value-of select="productName"/></li> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>

    Example 2

    Repetition
    <for-each select = item>

    Do something here ...


    </for-each>

    Example 3
    <?xml version="1.0"?> <?xml-stylesheet href="style3.xsl type="text/xsl"?> <items> <item partNum="123-AB"> <productName>Porsche</productName> <quantity>1</quantity> </item> <item> <productName>Ferrari</productName> <quantity>2</quantity> </item> </items> <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet version=1.0 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR /WD-xsl"> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <head></head> <body> <ol> <li>Root</li> <xsl:apply-templates/> </ol> </body> </html> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="items"> <li>Items</li> <xsl:for-each select="item"> <li>Item: <xsl:value-of select="productName"/> </li> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>

    Example 3

    Conditional Processing
    <if test = position()=last()>

    Do something
    </if>

    Conditional Processing
    <choose> <when test = position()=last()> Do something for last element </when>

    <when test = position()=first()> Do something for first element


    </when>

    <otherwise>
    Do something for other elements </otherwise> </choose>

    Creating the result tree


    <value-of select=expression> <element name=string>

    <attribute name=string>
    <processing-instruction name=string> <comment> <text>

    Example 4
    <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <head></head> <xsl:comment> Set the background to red </xsl:comment> <xsl:element name="body"> <xsl:attribute name="bgcolor"> red </xsl:attribute> <ol> <li>Root</li> <xsl:apply-templates/> </ol> </xsl:element> </html> </xsl:template> ...

    XSL output:
    <html> <head></head> <!--Set the background to red--> <body bgcolor="red"> <ol> <li>Root</li> <li>Items</li> <li>Item: Porsche</li> <li>Item: Ferrari</li> </ol> </body> </html>

    Numbering
    <number count = pattern from = pattern value = number-expression format = string />

    Combining Stylesheets
    <include href = uri /> <import href = uri />

    Some Other Elements


    <copy> <copy-of>

    <sort select=expression>
    <variable>

    <param>
    <output>
