XML News from Wednesday, June 9, 2004

IBM's alphaWorks has released Stylesheet Splicer, a customizable XSLT processor for Windows that can manage multiple versions of XSL stylesheets from a common code base.

A single XSL stylesheet, with a stylesheet processor such as Stylesheet Splicer, will transform a source XML document from one format (such as ColdFusion CFXML) into a target XML document of another format (such as Rosetta PIP). Usually nodes and values not present in the source document are added. When a variety of target documents is required, a number of different stylesheets are usually prepared with extensive duplication among them. With Stylesheet Splicer, multiple stylesheets may be segmented into their unique component parts, without duplication, and assembled dynamically for the particular target variation desired. Stylesheet Splicer implements a simple preprocessor language to control the mixing and matching of XSLT fragments and also to create run-time pop-up windows, allowing users to enter XSLT parameter values needed in the transformation.
