Description
Xalan-C++ (named after a rare musical instrument) implements the W3C Recommendation 16 November 1999 XSL
Transformations (XSLT) Version 1.0 and the XML Path Language (XPath) Version 1.0. XSLT is the first part
of the XSL stylesheet language for XML. It includes the XSL Transformation vocabulary and XPath, a
language for addressing parts of XML documents. For links to background materials, discussion groups,
frequently asked questions, and tutorials on XSLT, see Getting up to speed with XSLT.
You use the XSLT language to compose XSL stylesheets. An XSL stylesheet contains instructions for
transforming XML documents from one document type to another document type (XML, HTML, or other). In
structural terms, an XSL stylesheet specifies the transformation of one tree of nodes (the XML input)
into another tree of nodes (the output or transformation result).
