Opleiding: Transforming XML using XSLT Stylesheets

Learn how to transform XML documents using XPath 2.0 and XSL-T 2.0 to XML or HTML documents.

This course explores the XPath language in detail, showing how to locate XML content by value, position, and type. It then shows how to use XSLT to transform XML documents into a different dialect of XML, HTML, or a text format such as EDI files. The course also shows how to filter unwanted data, and how to generate new XML content from scratch.
The course is based on the World Wide Web Consortium standards for XPath 2.0 and XSLT 2.0.
