Subject: [xsl] Could anyone tell the significant difference
between XSLT and XQuery?
You might like to read my chapter in the book "XQuery from the Experts"
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0321180607/qid=1063266818
Also the discussion summarized at
http://www.xmlhack.com/read.php?item=1080 (which was a while ago but
still relevant).
XQuery and XSLT were designed for different application areas, but there
is a huge overlap in functionality, and the chances are that many people
will try to use one tool for both jobs. But XQuery implementations are
likely to be much better at searching large databases, and XSLT will
continue to be much better for generating HTML or other presentation
forms.
Hi,
I am wondering if XSLT can act as a query language over
XML documents, even a restrictive one.
BTW, is there any discussing group on XQuery as nice as
this one on XSL?
There are lists - see the XQuery home page - but they are not nearly as
nice as this one.
