Product Description

Review
"...this book is a powerful reference work. The problems tackled are well chosen, the solutions elegant and the explanations carefully and clearly explained." - Rick Stones, Cvu, August 2003

Product Description
This is a collection of hundreds of solutions to problems that Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) developers regularly face. The recipes range from simple string-manipulation and mathematical processing to more complex topics like extending XSLT, testing and debugging XSLT stylesheets, and graphics creation with SVG. Recipes can be run directly or tweaked to fit your particular application's needs more precisely. Each recipe walks through a problem and a solution, with explanations of the choices made and techniques used in creating that solution, and many recipes include alternate solutions and explore issues like convenience and performance. Topics covered include: string manipulation; mathematical processing; date and time handling; interactions between calendar systems; selecting content in source documents; efficient tree-manipulation; conversions from XML to plain text; tweaking XML documents with stylesheets; using XSLT to query XML documents; generating HTML with XSLT; creating charts and graphs with SVG and XSLT; generating C and XSLT code using XSLT; processing Visio documents in XSLT; working with XML Topic Maps (XTM); using XSLT to create SOAP documentation from WSDL; extending XSLT with additional functions; embedding XSLT in other processing; testing and debugging XSLT stylesheets; and creating generic XSLT processors which work on many XML vocabularies. The book is a companion both for developers still figuring out XSLT's template-based approach who want to learn by example, and for developers who know XSLT and want a collection of quickly reusable recipes. XSLT frequently offers a number of ways to perform a transformation, and the best solution may not always be the most straightforward. The recipes in this Cookbook demonstrate and explain XSLT's template-based logic, a frequent stumbling block for developers new to XSLT. Among the variety of XSLT books now available, none has the explicit solution-oriented approach of this Cookbook.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply outstanding and packed with great recipes, 20 Jun 2003
By C. C. Williams - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
XSLT isn't exactly the easiest of technologies to master, but this goes a long way to helping you. Even if you still can't get your head around it, the examples are designed in such a way that you can simply steal them with minimal tweaking required. The book starts with using XSLT to perform operations that you might normally use a programming language for - string manipulation, arithmetic, date and time functions - and moves generating graphs (with SVG), processing multiple document formats, generating C++ source code and much more. For me, the most useful section was the one describing how to use XSLT to generate documentation from WSDL documents. Some of the more arcane recipes are unlikely ever to find real world use, admittedly, but it's fascinating to see how far the author can push the technology. This is definitely not another book which concentrates solely on generating HTML from XML ans is all the better for it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't believe everything the title suggests, 29 Sep 2007
This is easily the weakest cookbook series book I have bought.

I'm also quite annoyed by it as despite the fact that Amazon's review and the O'Reilly web site make mention of it covering XML to PDF creation (the reason I bought it) it actually doesn't cover it at all.

If you have need for advanced XSML topics that isn't covered by the many excellent online tutorials, particularly IBM's then you are extremely unlikely to find them in this book.
