XML has rapidly become a de-facto standard for exchanging data between applications and organisations. The growth of XML has led to the emergence of XPath and XSLT as standard ways of accessing and transforming content in an XML document.
Class goals :
After completing this course, delegates will be able to:
locate content in an XML document using XPath
write XSLT style sheets to transform XML documents
apply XSLT style sheets statically or dynamically to XML documents
generate new XML content using XSLT
perform repetition and conditional logic in an XSLT style sheet
sort documents, and control textual and numeric output
define and use named templates
parameterise template rules and style sheets
coordinate multiple XML documents using style sheets
reuse, customise, and extend XSLT style sheets
