In XSLT we may need to use same template for different xml data tags, and also there might be a situation where we need to send some special instructions to template tag to act upon give condition or value and produce/process the xml data. Data.xml 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 <?xml version='1.0'?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="XSLT.xsl"?> <lists> <ol> <li> the </li> <li> cat </li> <ol> <li> sat </li> <li> on </li> <li> the </li> </ol> <li> mat </li> </ol> </lists> XSLT.xsl 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 <?xml version='1.0'?> <xsl:stylesheet version= "1.0" xmlns:xsl= "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" ...

What is XML? Many computer systems contain data in incompatible formats. Exchanging data between incompatible systems (or upgraded systems) is a time-consuming task for web developers. Large amounts of data must be converted, and incompatible data is often lost. XML stores data in plain text format. This provides a software- and hardware-independent way of storing, transporting, and sharing data. XML also makes it easier to expand or upgrade to new operating systems, new applications, or new browsers, without losing data. With XML, data can be available to all kinds of "reading machines" like people, computers, voice machines, news feeds, etc. XML:- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <bookstore> <book category= "cooking" > <title lang= "en" > Every...

XSLT is used for presenting XML data in well structured way and in eye appealing sense. In XSLT we can define different templates and maintain criteria for XSLT processor to parse the XML data in and apply different template for different XML tags. Lets examine following example XML DATA. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 <student id= "1" eCode= "e1" > <firstName> Python 1 </firstName> <lastName> Hunert 1 </lastName> <dob> <day> 01 </day> <month> Jan </month> <year> 1991 </year> </dob> <course> Programmer </course> </student> In above XML data we want to present student id with dark background and eCode with red background colors, First Name in blue color, last name in green color and date of birth in different modes, so it will look like this. Source File:- XML_DATA.xml 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ...
