What is the best way to create XSLT using source XSD and Target XSD in Oxygen Developer edition?

Post by ESSB »

Hi All,

I am new here and to Oxygen, so hello.

I need to create some XSLT from a source XML file(XSD can be generated if needed) to a target XML file (for which I have the XSD). What is the best way in Oxygen Developer Edition to generate this XSLT? Hopefully this is not too manual, as my XSLT skills are rusty.

Many thanks,

Ed

Hello,

Developing XSLT is a manual process in Oxygen, so some XSLT knowledge is necessary.
If you create and associate a transformation scenario with the XSLT (with an XML source in the scenario), a few additional helpers become available: content completion and an XML model of the source XML (Window > Show View > XSLT/XQuery input). However, note that this only works with the XML, not the XSD. Oxygen does not provide any XSLT helpers from an XSD, so you will need to use an XML instance instead.

There are a video demonstrations on our website that showcase XSLT development in Oxygen:
Oxygen videos - XSLT Editing
Look for the one named XSLT Stylesheet Development.
