XSLT transformations

Analyze JSON data using the XSLT language (https://vason.io/open-xslt)

The XSLT feature enables you to analyze JSON data using the XSLT language.

XSLT​

The XSLT language is usually applied only to XML documents. However, Vason allows using XSLT for transforming the structure of JSON.

Example XSLT transformations​

<xsl:template>
    <xsl:text>[</xsl:text>
    <xsl:for-each select="//planets">
        <xsl:text>"</xsl:text>
        <xsl:value-of select="name"/>
        <xsl:text>"</xsl:text>
        <xsl:if test="position() != last()">,</xsl:if>
    </xsl:for-each>
    <xsl:text>]</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
