Combining coverage of both XSLT 2.0 and XPath 2.0 into one book, this is the definitive reference to the final "recommendation" status versions of both specifications. The first several chapters cover the concepts in XSLT and XPath and then the biggest part of the book provides a detailed reference to elements, operators, expressions with syntax, usage, and examples.

 

Some of the specific topics covered include:

• XSLT Processing Model
• Stylesheet Structure
• Stylesheets and Schemas
• The Type System
• XSLT Elements reference: includes changes in 2.0, format, effect, usage, and examples
• XPath fundamentals: static and dynamic contexts, constructs, expressions, function calls
• XPath Operators on Items including arithmetic, comparisons, and booleans
• XPath Expressions: Path expressions, sequence expressions, and type expressions
• XSLT Patterns
• XSLT and XPath Functions reference with signature, effect, and examples
• Regular Expressions
• Serialization
• Extensibility
• Stylesheet design patterns: fill-in-the blanks, navigation, rule-based, computational
• Case Studies
• Processors: Microsoft, JAXP, Saxon, Altova, IBM
• Additional online content: error codes
