The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Recommendation for XSL Transformations (XSLT) specifies a transformation language for XML documents. The Microsoft® XML Parser (MSXML) supports a subset of this transformation language. This subset can be viewed in the World Wide Web Consortium Web site. Microsoft plans to update this technology to full compliance with this recommendation.

You can use XSLT from the XML Document Object Model (DOM). The transformNode method and transformNodeToObject method support the use of XSLT elements to perform transformations. The DOM selectNodes method and selectSingleNode method support the XML Path Language (XPath) expression syntax that enables sophisticated queries for nodes within a particular context of the overall tree structure.

Microsoft® eMbedded Visual C++® 4.0 developers should refer to the following versions of the previously mentioned methods:

• transformNode
• transformNodeToObject
• selectNodes
• selectSingleNode

This language reference section contains descriptions of XSLT programming elements.
