xslt.js

Transform XML with XSLT

xslt.js is a tiny (less than 2 KB) JavaScript library that lets you asynchronously transform XML with XSLT on the client. Why transform XML on the server when the client can do it, too?

In Microsoft Internet Explorer, no instantiation of ActiveX controls are necessary, so xslt.js works nicely in companies where admins have deployed “hardened” versions of IE that cannot instantiate any ActiveX controls.

xslt.js includes a jQuery plugin and the ability to use inline XML.

Example code

<script type="text/javascript">

        .setXslt("document.xsl").transform("transformResult");
}
</script>

jQuery plugin example code

<div id="transformResult"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">

 $('#transformResult').xslt("document.xml", "document.xsl");
});
