XSLT

Synopsis

Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) is an XML-based language used for the transformation of XML documents.

XSLT is designed to transform XML documents into other XML documents. The original document is not changed; rather, a new document is created based on the content of an existing one.
