I develop websites using the XSLT-based Symphony CMS, and another user

response was that it has to end up as XML in the end, so there is at
least some use for it.
So my question is, are there many AJAX developers on this list, and if
so, how frequently, and in what capacity, do you use XSL in building or
customizing AJAX web applications?
I use XSLT to allow the same content to be served as either XML, HTML or
JSON according to the client device's preference. Most JSON APIs offer
similar choices; how many use XSLT to achieve this goal is a different
question, but to my mind it's a perfect application of the technology.
