What's the real benefit of learning and using XSD, XML, AND XSLT? -
especially over a simple process like Perl/DBI....and why ?
Firstly you don't need to use XSD schema to use XSLT. Most people don't
and XSLT 1 isn't schema-aware so even if you do use both, you can't
really use them together.
As for whether Perl or XSLT is a better language for your particular
transformation. Who can say? If you are familiar with perl and just
learning XSLT you are likely to find it easier in Perl. I find English
easier than French, but I think that's more to do with my background
than anything about the languages. I also find XSLT easier than perl
but that is also something to do with my background.
