Altova XSL and XSLT Tools
XSLT is the transformation language essential to data-centric software development and data integration.
Altova MissionKit provides numerous integrated options for XSLT editing, debugging, profiling, and even autogeneration. MissionKit is a comprehensive toolkit for XSLT development alongside complementary technologies such as relational databases, HTML5, CSS3, and more. Whether you need to hand-code XSLT stylesheets, generate standards-based XSLT for structural transformations, or graphically design XSLT and XSL:FO stylesheets for business reporting, you'll find the tools you need in Altova MissionKit. Tight integration among the MissionKit products described below means all these transformation assets can be available in multiple tools for a smooth workflow.
What is XSLT?
XML separates content from presentation by design. XML itself is only responsible for data, while other XML-based technologies such as XSL take care of presenting the data. XSL (eXtensible Stylesheet Language) is a language for creating stylesheets that specify how elements in XML documents should be displayed to the end-user, regardless of the chosen delivery mechanism. The XSL standard includes XPath, XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations), and XSL:FO (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Formatting Objects).
XSLT stylesheets transform an XML document into another XML document, an HTML/XHTML Web page, or a simple text file. The XSLT stylesheet specifies how an XSLT processor should create the desired output from an associated XML input document. There are two versions of XSLT in use today: XSLT 1.0 and XSLT 2.0. The 2.0 version represents a significant upgrade, extending the language with features that increase productivity, improve code quality and reusability, and provide powerful new functions.
