11/24/2004: "XML Tutorial: Transoformation Architectures"

Transformations

One of the single most useful aspects of XML is the capacity to transform it from one form to another based on the tags present in the document.

Transformations of XML (typically done using what are known as XSL Transformations or XSLTs) may be from:

¨ XML to XML

¨ XML to non-XML

In this tutorial, we will focus only on XML to XML transformations. But before we even get there, let us go through an overview of where transformations are used and the architectures that support it.

The most common application of XML transformations fall into two broad categories:

¨ Data Storage to Data Storage Transformations

¨ Data Storage to Device Transformations
