Subject: [xsl] Presentation vs content. From: "Srinivas, Santoshkumar (CORP, GEITC)" <Santoshkumar.Srinivas@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 15 Jan 2001 22:19:23 +0530 |
Please bear if you find this offline :) Hi Guys, Not sure if this question makes sense ... but could anyone please suggest. I am going pretty fine with XML/XSL nowadays. I always wonder if it makes sense to use XML in the presentation layer. I mean .. what are the situations when this sounds plausible. How is the XML/XSL combination trying to replace the long standing HTML. I do understand the flexibility XML gives in defining your own tags .. but does the necessity of doing so really arise. I am in a dilemma wether I am stretching (using my cocoon processor in between ) just for the sake of it. Also, XML sounds more good (to my understanding) as a rather terrific way of data handling and transportation with XQL,XSP and similar technologies supporting it. Conversion of the XML documents to various formats PDF, XSL etc etc via stylesheets sounds sweet :) But in the presentation layer eh !?!? Well .. now certain of my answers for the presentation layer might be dynamic on-the-fly XML. But this can always be achieved thru JSP/JDBC combination. Is there somekind of memory usage angle here which gives the swing in favor of XML?? Also, finishing off with a last Q ..... if I were to ask you to build a website with a rather good UI ... which would you go in for XML/HTML. Please do answer asap ... lest I may go back to my HTML/JSP combination for the presentation layer. Thanks, Best Regards, Santosh. XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
