Subject: Should I use XSLT or DOM From: Junk Junk <xline1@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2000 13:17:58 -0700 (PDT) |
I'm new to XSLT, although I have a fair understanding of XML, SAX and DOM processing. For a new project, I need to transform one XML document to another. However, the transformation is not direct. I need to be able to manipulate the source tree. The destination tree will be different from the source tree with element and attribute values from the source tree becoming element/attribute values of a totally different tree structure. Example: Source document: <?xml version="1.0"?> <element1 a1="value_1" a2="value_2"> <element2 a3="value_3" a4="value_4">SomeText</element2> <element3>MoreText</element3> <element4 a5="value_5"/> </element1> Destination document <?xml version="1.0"?> <element0> <element1 a1="value_5"> <element2 a2="MoreText"/> <element3 a2="value_3">SomeText</element3> </element1> <element4> <element5>value_4</element5> </element4> </element0> I know the above doesn't make practical sense, but it is something like what I need to do. I was wondering if any experienced XML/XSLT folks might be willing to tell me if XSLT would be an appropriate tool to use for the purpose or if I should use DOM parsing via Java instead? Thanks much.
