XML- XSL

XML – Extensible Markup Language
XSL – Extensible Stylesheet Language
XSL is an XML based language for expressing stylesheets for manipulating XML data.

Xpath, a selection syntax allowing us to select nodes within an XML document. Xpath is used in XSLT to specify which nodes to use in a transformation, and for selecting XML content to include in an output document.


An XSLT stylesheet consists of a series of one or more templates, togather with instructions based on Xpath expressions that tell an XSLT processor how to match the templates against nodes in an XML input document. The result of applying template is another XML document, output could be HTML, or plain text also.
