Not only the purpose of this article to prove that XSLT can be considered a functional programming language has been fulfilled by providing XSLT implementation for the most major FP design patterns and examples from John Hughes article "Why Functional Programming matters" (this article contains the code of 35 functions), but as a side effect we have now available what can be considered the first XSLT functional programming library.

This tutorial explores how to create string parsing routines in XSLT so that you can tokenize straight, non-XML text, thus turning that text into a series of XML elements. Specifically, this tutorial examines how to convert such documents as weblogs and Web configuration files into XML for improved readability and programmatic access.

In her Visual Quickstart Guide to XML for the World Wide Web (ISBN 0-201-71098-6), Elizabeth Castro remarked that she was looking for an XSLT processor for the Macintosh. I realized that Xalan, written in Java by the Apache Software Foundation, might provide just such a processor.

As of this publication date, I am using the Xerces2 Java Parser, Xalan-J Processor, and FOP .jar files in the $Classpath to run XSLT parsing examples. I found an excellent FO (Formatted Objects) resource that you may also find insightful for creating binaries such as pdf's.

Some simple XSLT examples. 1) Simple transformation using an old IE 5 type style sheet (1-ie.xml) styled with (1-ie.xsl)

Eight XSLT stylesheet examples are included with FileMaker Pro 6, and many
more are available for download at XML Central.

Until now it was believed that although XSLT is based on functional programming ideas, it is not as yet a full functional programming language, as it lacks the ability to treat functions as a first-class data type.

Articles and Examples about XML and XSLT.

This download is from a project I developed for my company's intranet. The application creates html dynamically from generating XML through the scripting object and transforming the result with XSLT.

When you get into XML parsing, it is difficult to get a grasp of how to input and output the XML and XSL texts. This code from the .NET XML expert himself, Dan Wahlin, shows you a number of ways to do it, useful code.

A stupid XSL trick is a use of XSLT for something unusual or amusing for which it wasn't necessarily designed. These tricks are intended for an audience that is learning XSLT and wishes do so by poking around in various less-explored corners. Paper includes three examples with full explanations.

Practical XSLT Examples And Reusable Code

Practical XSLT Examples And Reusable Code.

Click-Ins are what I call little info windows which open up IN the text when a word is clicked and shut when the word is clicked again. This code shows you how to define a VOC tag in XSLT so that you can have users define vocabulary click-ins in their text.

Some XSLT-lite examples:
1. Counter
2. JSP flow control

Apply XSLT in a Dynamic Java Application (cont'd). What is XSLT? ...

The XML Flight Finder fetches data about airline flights and customizes the results for the client device (PC, cell phone, PDA, etc.). Because it is built on the Oracle8i platform and leverages the Oracle XSQL Servlet, this sample application can submit SQL queries and define output formats using XML, XSL, and XSQL text files -- no Java programming is required, and there's no code to compile. The application is easy to build, customize, and maintain.
