XSLT: Common issues with Xquery and special issues of XSLT

Sven Groppe, Jinghua Groppe, Christoph Reinke, Nils Hoeller, Volker Linnemann

Abstract

The widespread usage of XML in the last few years has resulted in the development of a number of XML query languages like XSLT or the later developed XQuery language. Today, there are many products like databases in the area of XML processing that support either XSLT or XQuery, but not both of them. This may prevent users from employing their favourite XML query language. In this chapter, the authors show that both languages have comparable expression power and present a scheme for translating XQuery to XSLT and vice versa. This translation scheme enables a user to employ either XSLT or XQuery for each product which supports one of these languages. They also summarize in this chapter both current and future trends and research issues and also consider those that might emerge in the common area of XSLT and XQuery and which are particular to XSLT.
