now i am working in C++ and my requirement
is to get the artist value of each cd and store it in a array


i wonder whether XSL could help me out in this scenario
as i dont find suitable XSL which will return me the artist name of
each cd element when i iterate


can anyone help me out whether using XSL is a good option for me if yes

how could i use in my case
