Hi,
I have a high level understanding of why the above technologies
are used.
XML - mainly used for data transformation from desperate systems
XSLT - is used to transform the XML documents into other XML, or HTML
or WML or any other browser recognizable formats
XPATH - is used to navigate throught the XML file (please correct me
if I am worng)
XSD - The most I know about the XSD is strongly typed datasets which I
used in my recent assignment. I created .XSD files to store the data
that I get from the database and used those (strongly typed) datasets
to populate/bind to the .NET controls in the front. Is there any thing
that I need to know about XSD files other than what I know in my
scenario or if when some one talks about XML Schema Defintion (XSD?)
then the knowledge I have on XSD (files) is no where related to this?
The another thing is I am trying to find a besiness scenarion (need)
of transformaing XML documents into per say a HTML out put using the
XSLT.
In one of the projects I had to deal with the XML files which were
comming from the JAVA world where I used a DOM parser to manipulate
the XML data files in VB.NET and sotred the data in a SQL Server
database. And later populate that in various modules of the systems as
needed.
But I am trying to understand a business scenario where I would need
to transform the XML files directly into any of the above said formats
using XSLT. Could some one please help me a scenario where I could
have used or should use XSLT and XPATH?
Thanks,
