| | Description: The 2.0 versions of XSLT and XPath are the next generation of these XML technology powerhouses. All the work-arounds and “can’t get there from here” situations are addressed with simple and elegant solutions. However, with all the new capabilities comes a new need to understand how XSLT 2.0 approaches the problem space. This class peels back the layers to where the 2.0 level meets the 1.0 foundation. You will learn how to move from XSLT 1.0 to the next level without losing your existing work. Your instructor will use the 2.0 tools in XMLSpy to show you what to expect, how to achieve your goals, and why these technologies are in your future.
| | Goals for the class:
| Identify new features of XPath 2.0 and the overlap with XPath 1.0 | | Use strong typing to specify highly specific paths | | Work with multiple document output elements and the unparsed-text input function | | Use error avoidance strategies: static analysis type coercion, casting, cast checking, type checking, and constructor-based coercion | | Understand the new item relations: precedence, sequence, iteration, quantified expressions and set operations | | Practice flow control in XPath 2.0 and new flow control capabilities in XSLT 2.0 using tunnel parameters, xsl:next-match, etc. | | Explore the new and much broader core function library shared between XQuery and XSLT 2.0 | | Develop XSLT using strong typing, importing XSDs, the core XSD types supported by all processors, etc. | | Learn about sequence-based capabilities that replace result tree fragments |
