XML transforms: XSLT

• Using the DOM primitives, one can access all nodes (elements, attributes, text, PI, etc) in a document, and reorganize the document tree from ObjectPAL.
• However, there is a better way: XSLT, the W3C standard functional language designed just for such XML transformations.
• XSLT allow for simple transformations from any XML document to another XML, (X)HTML or raw text document.
• From ObjectPAL, transforming a document using an XSL Transform stylesheet is done via the DOM transformNode function:

  var oSRSC, oXSL OleAuto
    endVar
  
    oSRC.open ("Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0")
    oSRC.async = False
    oSRC.load (<path to the source document>)
  
    oXSL.open ("Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0")
    oXSL.async = False
    oXSL.load (<path to the XSL transform stylesheet>)
  
    oSRC.transformNode (oXSLT)
