XSLT Reference

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Recommendation for XSL Transformations (XSLT) specifies a transformation language for XML documents. Microsoft® XML Core Services (MSXML) 4.0 supports this transformation language, XSLT Version 1.0 (W3C Recommendation 16 November 1999).

You can use XSLT from the XML Document Object Model (DOM). The transformNode method, transformNodeToObject method as well as the IXSLProcessor object support the use of XSLT elements to perform transformations. The DOM selectNodes method and selectSingleNode method support the XML Path Language (XPath) expression syntax that enables sophisticated queries for nodes within a particular context of the overall tree structure.

Microsoft Visual Basic® and C++ developers should refer to the following versions of the previously mentioned methods.

• transformNode
• transformNodeToObject
• selectNodes
• selectSingleNode

The XSLT Reference contains the following topics.

• XSLT Elements
• XSLT Syntax
• XSLT Functions
