eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT)

• Once parsed, a XML document becomes a tree called DOM (Document Object Model)

• XSLT is a language (an instance of XML) to describe transformations from a DOM to another. A set of transformations (a XSLT document) is called a stylesheet

• Stylesheets are made of rules. A rule is made of a template (which is matched against a part of the input DOM) and a body that is instantiated in the output DOM
