XSLT

Definitions

1. Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations — a declarative, Turing-complete language for transforming XML documents into other XML, HTML, or plain text by applying pattern-matching template rules to the source document's node tree.

   In plain English: A special-purpose language for converting one XML document into a completely different format using pattern-based rules.

   Example: "Nobody on the team can read the XSLT stylesheet anymore, but it still transforms 10,000 invoices a day so we're afraid to touch it."
