Page 1 of 1 |
It’s often the case that we want to take the content embodied in one XML document and express in a different XML format. In this lesson, we’ll take a look at how to accomplish this with very simple documents.
Let’s suppose we want to take the following XML document, representing a student…
… and need to transform it into an HTML document suitable for display in a browser. We can do this by passing the “student” document instance into a new document called “html,” which contains the transformation logic.
In our example, this logic is straightforward. A table is constructued, and XPath is used to extract data elements from the student document, placing each data item in one of the table’s cells.
