Overview of XSLT

XSLT is a transformation language of XML. Like XSL-FO and XPath, XSLT is a subset of XSL.

In so-called stylesheets rules can be set up, on the basis of which data is transferred into a target document. The stylesheets are read by a XSLT processor which transforms the XML document with the help of these rules into the required output format.
