w3schoolsCERTIFIED.2022With XSLT you can transform an XML document into HTML.
Displaying XML with XSLT
XSLT [eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations] is the recommended style sheet language for XML.
XSLT is far more sophisticated than CSS. With XSLT you can add/remove elements and attributes to or from the output file. You can also rearrange and sort elements, perform tests and make decisions about which elements to hide and display, and a lot more.
XSLT uses XPath to find information in an XML document.
XSLT Example
