Overview
Critical for converting XML documents, and extremely versatile, the XSLT language nevertheless has complexities that can be daunting. The XSLT Cookbook is a collection of hundreds of solutions to problems that Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) developers regularly face. The recipes range from simple string-manipulation and mathematical processing to more complex topics like extending XSLT, testing and debugging XSLT stylesheets, and graphics creation with SVG. Recipes can be run directly or tweaked to fit your particular application's needs more precisely. Each recipe walks through a problem and a solution, with explanations of the choices made and techniques used in creating that solution, and many recipes include alternate solutions and explore issues like convenience and performance. Topics covered include:
String manipulation
Mathematical processing
Date and time handling
Interactions between calendar systems
Selecting content in source documents
Efficient tree-manipulation
Conversions from XML to plain text
Tweaking XML documents with stylesheets
Using XSLT to query XML documents
Generating HTML with XSLT
Creating charts and graphs with SVG and XSLT
Generating C and XSLT code using XSLT
Processing Visio documents in XSLT
Working with XML Topic Maps (XTM)
Using XSLT to create SOAP documentation from WSDL
Extending XSLT with additional functions
Embedding XSLT in other processing
Testing and debugging XSLT stylesheets
Creating generic XSLT processors which work on many XML vocabularies
The XSLT Cookbook provides an ideal companion both for developers still figuring out XSLT's template-based approach who want to learn by example, and for developers who know XSLT and want a collection of quickly reusable recipes. XSLT frequently offers a number of ways to perform a transformation, and the best solution may not always be the most straightforward. The recipes in this Cookbook demonstrate and explain XSLT's template-based logic, a frequent stumbling block for developers new to XSLT. Among the variety of XSLT books now available, none has the explicit solution-oriented approach of this Cookbook.
