WHAT IS XSLT
From a programmers view
It is a programming language for processing XML data i.e transforming XML documents based on the requirment.
WHY WOULD YOU NEED XSLT
In the dynamic world we would need convert the required input file to the required file . This is easy to learn as it is based on xml only. Gives us very versatile list of option for the conversion. Building block for xml based technologies.
HIGH LEVEL VIEW OF WHAT IS XSLT

DOING
Input is a XML
Xslt file needed for processing
XSLT Processor
Can produce a html/xhtml
Can produce another xml
REQUIRMENT(SAXON PROCESSOR)
Please download the Tool from http://saxon.sourceforge.net/
Please download the latest version for this.
WHAT IS XSLT PROCESSOR
In order to convert the xml into the required the xml or html , a XSLT processor is needed . This processor takes into input the .xslt file and based on the declaration done in the .xslt file the required output is generated. SYNTAX
Java jar saxon<version>.jar <inputfile.xml> <inputfile.xslt> < resultfile.xml/html>

A SIMPLE EXAMPLE
people.xml <people> <person> <Name>Andy</Name> <Description> he is Java teacher</Description> </person> <person> <Name>Candy</Name> <Description>She is oracle teacher</Description> </person> </people>
FIRST.XSLT
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsl:template match ="/"> <html> <head> <title>Information about <xsl:value-of select="count(/people/person)" /> people </title> </head> <body><h3> Information about <xsl:value-of select="count(/people/person)" /> </h3> <br/> <xsl:apply-templates select="/people/person" />
</body> </html> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="person"> <h3><xsl:value-of select="Name" /></h3> <p> <xsl:value-of select="Description" /></p> <br /> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>
<XSL:STYLESHEET> ELEMENT
This is the first element of the xslt which defines the version and Namespace of the xslt.
example
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transfor m" version="1.0">
<XSL:TEMPLATE> ELEMENT
The xslt processor looks for the template tag with the match open as /
when xslt processor find a node of this type it then then start creating the result xml/html.
Example <xsl:template match=/ > </xsl:template>
<XSL:VALUE-OF> ELEMENT
This element provides the values from the source xml , based on the condition provided in it .
It has a mandatory attribute select , which is used to provide the condition to based on which respective values from the source xml are selected.
<XSL-COPY> ELEMENT
This element copies the a node to the result tree , but it doesnt copy any descendant nodes .
If the context node is a element then it doesnt copy any of it attribute. This is useful you want to change the structure of the element i.e add or remove its attributes .
<XSL:COPY> EXAMPLE
<persons> <person> <FirstName>Andy</FirstName> <LastName>Jackson</LastName> </person> <person> <FirstName>Candy</FirstName> <LastName>Soni</LastName> </person> </persons>
CONVERTCOPY.XSLT
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/"> <persons> <xsl:apply-templates select="/persons/person" /> </persons> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="person"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:attribute name="FirstName"><xsl:value-of select="FirstName"/> </xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="LastName"><xsl:value-of select="LastName"/> </xsl:attribute> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> https://www.focustread.com/training
CONVERT IT BACK
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/"> <persons> <xsl:apply-templates select="/persons/person" /> </persons> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="person"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:element name="FirstName"><xsl:value-of select="@FirstName"/> </xsl:element> <xsl:element name="LastName"><xsl:value-of select="@LastName"/> </xsl:element> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> https://www.focustread.com/training
RESULT.XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <persons> <person FirstName="Andy" LastName="Jackson"/> <person FirstName="Candy" LastName="Soni"/> </persons>
<XSL:COPY-OF> ELEMENT
It does the deep copy . It copies ( a node,its attribute and its descendants) all of them to the resultant tree.
Example <xsl:copy-of select=condition> </xsl:copy-of>

<XSL:COPY-OF> EXAMPLE (PURCHASEORDER TO INVOICE)

PurchaseOrder.xml <PurchaseOrder> <From>USA</From> <To>India</To> <Address> <Street>234 Any Street</Street> <City>My City</City> <ZipCode>1122334</ZipCode> </Address> </PurchaseOrder>
(PURCHASEORDER TO INVOICE)
Invoice.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Invoice> <To>USA</To> <From>India</From> <Address> <Street>234 Any Street</Street> <City>My City</City> <ZipCode>1122334</ZipCode> </Address> </Invoice>
(PURCHASEORDER TO INVOICE)
PurchaseOrder.xslt
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsl:template match="/"> <Invoice> <xsl:apply-templates select="/PurchaseOrder/From" /> <xsl:apply-templates select="/PurchaseOrder/To" /> <xsl:apply-templates select="/PurchaseOrder/Address" /> </Invoice> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="From"> <xsl:element name="To"><xsl:value-of select="."/> </xsl:element> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="To"> <xsl:element name="From"><xsl:value-of select="."/> </xsl:element> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="Address"> <xsl:copy-of select="." /> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>
<XSL:OUTPUT> ELEMENT
This element is being used to call out which type of output we need as the result.
Syntax for xml output <xsl :output method=xml>
Syntax for html output <xsl :output method=html>

CONDITIONAL PROCESSING In Xslt you have following option for conditional processing
1.
<xsl:if>.
2. <xsl:choose> 3.<xsl:for-each> 4. <xsl: sort>

<XSL:IF> ELEMENT
It tests xsl:if element for boolean result .
If the result is true then content of xsl:if are instantiated and added to the result tree.
If the result id fale the nothing is being added.
<XSL:IF > EXAMPLE

xslifExample.xml <Characters> <Character age="10">First Person</Character> <Character age="110">First Person</Character> <Character age="120">First Person</Character> <Character age="30">First Person</Character> <Character age="40">First Person</Character> <Character age="150">First Person</Character> </Characters>
<XSL:IF > EXAMPLE
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <head> <title> This is for the Test </title> <body> </head> <h3> The Record of the age is very high</h3> </body> </xsl:template> </html> <xsl:template match="Character"> <xsl:if test ="@age > 110"> </xsl:if> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> The age of <xsl:value-of select="." /> is <xsl:value-of select="@age" /> <br/> <xsl:apply-templates select="/Characters/Character" />
xslifExample.xslt
<XSL:CHOOSE> ELEMENT

This works almost like if then-else statment . This is useful if you want your code to take some decision based on the tested condition is true or false.
Example <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test=condition> code to display when condition is true. </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> Code will come here when the condition is false </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> https://www.focustread.com/training
<XSL:CHOOSE> EXAMPLE
xslchooseExample.xml <Characters> <Character age="10">First Person</Character> <Character age="110">First Person</Character> <Character age="120">First Person</Character> <Character age="30">First Person</Character> <Character age="40">First Person</Character> <Character age="150">First Person</Character> </Characters>
<XSL:CHOOSE> EXAMPLE
xslchooseExample.xslt
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <head> <title> This is for the Test </title> </head> <body> <h3> The Record of the age is very high</h3> <xsl:apply-templates select="/Characters/Character" /> </body> </html> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="Character"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test ="@age > 110"> The age of <xsl:value-of select="." /> is <xsl:value-of select="@age" /> is very high <br/> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> The age of <xsl:value-of select="." /> is <xsl:value-of select="@age" /> is very okay <br/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>
<XSL:FOR-EACH>
It is being used to process all the nodes in the in the node-set according to the XSLT instructions nested inside the xsl:for-each element.
Syntax <xsl:for-each select =condition> Code which is to be processed. </xsl:for-each>
<XSL:FOR-EACH> EXAMPLE
xslforeachExample.xml <Objects> <Object name="Car"> <Characteristic>Hard</Characteristic> <Characteristic>Shiny</Characteristic> <Characteristic>4 wheels</Characteristic> <Characteristic>2 people capacity</Characteristic> </Object> <Object name="Orange"> <Characteristic>Soft</Characteristic> <Characteristic>Orange</Characteristic> <Characteristic>Sweet</Characteristic> </Object> https://www.focustread.com/training </Objects>
<XSL:FOR-EACH> EXAMPLE
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <head> <title> This is for-Each Test </title> <body> </head> <h3> This is for-Each Test</h3> <xsl:apply-templates select="/Objects/Object" /> </body> </xsl:template> </html> <xsl:template match="Object"> <xsl:for-each select ="Characteristic"> <li><xsl:value-of select="." /></li> <br/> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Shows the result of <xsl:value-of select="@name" />
xslforeachExample.xslt
<XSL:SORT> ELEMENT
This is used to specify the sort order of the nodesets .
This can work with a. xsl:template-apply element. b. xsl:for-each element.
<XSL:SORT>EXAMPLE
xslsort.xml <Objects> <Object name="Car"> <Characteristic>Hard</Characteristic> <Characteristic>Shiny</Characteristic> <Characteristic>4 wheels</Characteristic> <Characteristic>2 people capacity</Characteristic> </Object> <Object name="Orange"> <Characteristic>Soft</Characteristic> <Characteristic>Orange</Characteristic> <Characteristic>Sweet</Characteristic> </Object> https://www.focustread.com/training </Objects>
<XSL:SORT>EXAMPLE
xslsort.xslt
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <head> <title> This is Sort Test </title> </head> <body> <h3> This is Sort Test</h3> <xsl:apply-templates select="/Objects/Object" > <xsl:sort select="@name" /> </xsl:apply-templates> </body> </html> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="Object"> Shows the result of <xsl:value-of select="@name" /> <xsl:for-each select ="Characteristic"> <xsl:sort select="." /> <li><xsl:value-of select="." /></li> <br/> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>
<XSL:VARIABLE> AND <XSL:PARAMETER>
They are mentioned by below mentioned syntax
<xsl:variable /> <xsl:parameter /> They act like constants and there value cannot change once they are set.
