  2. What Is It? • Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) • Language for document transformation • Transformation (XSLT) • Converting XML to another form • e.g. Use Xalan to convert to text, XML, HTML, etc… • Formatting objects (XSL:FO) • Layout of XML document • e.g. Use FOP to convert to PDF, etc… • Defined by W3C

  3. The Simplest Stylesheet (1 of 2) • Empty XSLT document 01 <?xml version=‘1.0’ encoding=‘UTF-16’?> 02 <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=‘http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform’ 03 version=‘1.0’> 04 </xsl:stylesheet>

  4. The Simplest Stylesheet (2 of 2) • Empty XSLT document • Note: This will simply copy the text content of the input document to the output. 01 <?xml version=‘1.0’ encoding=‘UTF-16’?> 02 <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=‘http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform’ 03version=‘1.0’> 04</xsl:stylesheet>

  5. What Are Its Features? • Features • Templates • Map input patterns to output • Conditionals • Loops • Functions • Extensions

  6. Templates • Transformation rules • Selects nodes from input document • Uses XPath expressions • Specifies output • Can be text, XML, HTML (xml with html tags) • Template modes • Allows multiple templates to have same rules • Named templates • Call templates by name

  7. Simple Template (1 of 4) • Match document root • <xsl:template match=‘/’> • <HTML> • <BODY> • <xsl:apply-templates select=‘child::*’/> • </BODY> • </HTML> • </xsl:template>

  8. Simple Template (2 of 4) • Match document root • <xsl:template match=‘/’> • <HTML> • <BODY> • <xsl:apply-templates select=‘child::*’/> • </BODY> • </HTML> • </xsl:template>

  9. Simple Template (3 of 4) • Match document root • <xsl:template match=‘/’> • <HTML> • <BODY> • <xsl:apply-templates select=‘child::*’/> • </BODY> • </HTML> • </xsl:template>

  10. Simple Template (4 of 4) • Match document root • <xsl:template match=‘/’> • <HTML> • <BODY> • <xsl:apply-templates select=‘child::*’/> • </BODY> • </HTML> • </xsl:template>

  11. Simple Template+ (1 of 5) • Match document root • <xsl:template match=‘/’> • <HTML> • <BODY> • <xsl:apply-templates select=‘child::*’/> • </BODY> • </HTML> • </xsl:template> • <xsl:template match=‘book’> • <H1> <xsl:value-of select=‘title’/> </H1> • </xsl:template>

  16. Conditionals • If statement • <xsl:if test='expression'> ... </xsl:if> • Switch statement • <xsl:choose> • <xsl:when test='expression'> ... </xsl:when> • <xsl:otherwise> ... </xsl:otherwise> • </xsl:choose> • Predicates • foo[@bar="value"]

  17. Loops • For statement • <xsl:for-each select='expression'> • <xsl:sort select='expression'/> • … • </xsl:for-each>

  18. XPath Functions • Node-set functions • e.g. position(), last(), local-name(), etc… • String functions • e.g. string(), contains(), substring(), etc… • Boolean functions • e.g. boolean(), not(), etc… • Number functions • e.g. number(), sum(), round(), etc…

  19. XSLT Functions • Multiple source documents • e.g. document(“document2.xml”) • Keys • Number formatting • Additional functions • e.g. current(), system-property(), etc…

  35. Rendering XML in Browsers • Latest browsers (e.g. IE 6.0+) have support for XSLT • Insert “xml-stylesheet” processing instruction • <?xml-stylesheet type=‘text/xsl’ href=‘style.xsl’?> • Output
