What is XSL/XSLT?

XSL (Extensible Stylesheet Language) is a family of languages used for transforming and formatting XML documents. XSLT (XSL Transformations) is the primary language within XSL, used to transform XML documents into other formats like HTML, plain text, or even other XML structures. It operates by applying templates that match specific elements or attributes in the input XML, allowing for restructuring, filtering, and adding content. It is commonly used for generating web pages from XML data, converting XML data between different formats, and creating reports from XML data sources.
