Using XSLT with the DOM or SAX

Microsoft® XML Core Services (MSXML) 5.0 for Microsoft Office makes XSLT services available from the Document Object Model (DOM). This integration of XSLT with the DOM makes XML applications simpler and more powerful. XSLT becomes a general service for locating and manipulating XML data in Web pages, server-side applications, and stand-alone applications.

XSLT functionality is accessed by two pairs of DOM methods:

• selectNodes and selectSingleNode

  These methods perform XPath queries on a DOM document.

• transformNode and transformNodeToObject

  These methods perform complete XSLT transformations on a DOM node.

The following topics describe how to use XSLT services in your application.
