Using the XSLT Processor

The Microsoft XML Parser makes XSLT services available from the DOM. The tight integration of XSLT with the DOM makes building XML applications simpler and more powerful. XSLT becomes a general service for locating and manipulating XML data in Web pages, server-side applications, and stand-alone applications.

XSLT functionality is surfaced through two pairs of DOM methods:

• selectNodes and selectSingleNode perform XPath queries over a DOM document.
• transformNode and transformNodeToObject perform complete XSLT transformations on a DOM node.

The following topics show how to use XSLT services in your application:

• Transforming the Contents of XML Data Islands Using XSLT
• Using XSLT in an Active Server Page
• Getting the Results of a Transformation as a New DOM Document
• Detecting and Handling XSLT Errors
