Transforming XML Using XSLT Style Sheets (2 Day)

Product Description

XML has rapidly become a de-facto standard for exchanging data between applications & organisations. The growth of XML has led to the emergence of XPath & XSLT as standard ways of accessing & transforming content in an XML document.

XPath & XSLT are a natural combination. XPath is a declarative language that allows content to be located in an XML document. XSLT style sheets define template rules, using XPath expressions to locate XML content, & then transform the selected data into another form.

This course explores the XPath language in detail, showing how to locate XML content by value, position, & 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, & how to generate new XML content from scratch.

The course is based on the latest World Wide Web Consortium standards for XPath & XSLT.

This course is a mixture of instructor-led tuition with separate practical sessions for each chapter designed to help reinforce the techniques covered in the lecture material. It has a high practical content. Delegates will write & apply many different style sheets during the practical sessions, to explore the full range of capabilities available in XPath & XSLT.
