Hands-On XSL: Transforming and Styling XML

 
Course: 549   Type: Hands-On Training   Duration: 3 Days
 
 

You Will Learn How To

  • Transform XML data using Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL)
  • Build structured style sheets with Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT) elements
  • Search and filter XML documents with XPath and XQuery
  • Design and debug XSL documents
  • Convert XML data into HTML and other document formats
  • Generate PDF files with XSL Formatting Objects (XSL-FO)

Course Benefits

XML is an essential tool for application developers, allowing for the interchange of data between disparate systems. To effectively integrate systems, XSL is needed for transforming and styling XML data. In this hands-on course, you gain the skills needed to exploit XSL components to manipulate and analyze XML data. You also learn how to create and troubleshoot XSL documents and generate HTML, PDF, SVG and other document formats.

Who Should Attend

Those interested in working with XSL. Experience with XML at the level of Course 542, "XML Comprehensive Introduction," is assumed.

Hands-On Training

Exercises throughout this course offer immediate, hands-on reinforcement of the ideas you are learning:
  • Creating and debugging XSL
  • Searching and filtering XML data with XPath
  • Applying design techniques for improved XSL documents
  • Traversing complex XML input documents
  • Mapping between element- and attribute-based document structures
  • Producing PDF files with XSL-FO
  • Querying data using XQuery
