Stephen,
I used it on a project almost a year ago. It's an XSL IDE (syntax editor =
and "interpreter") that allows you to build and interactively =
test/prototype XSL style sheets. IMO, a product like this is an absolute =
REQUIREMENT if you're going to be working with XSL. The product worked =
well - I found it reliable and easy to use. And you can't beat its price =
which at the time of our project was significantly cheaper than other =
XSL development environments.
If my memory serves me correctly this is the work of a single developer =
who was very active in the XSL forums we monitored.
I had very mixed feelings about my experience with XSL. I found XSL 1.1 =
unintuitive, overly complicated, very brittle, and difficult to =
maintain. IMO, writing effective XSL is an art form! On the positive =
side, I was amazed at how fast our finely tuned XSL transforms executed =
when working with reasonably sized XML data sets (<1M) and the MSXML 4.0 =
engine. Like anything else, a poorly designed XSL stylesheet is a dog.
GOOD LUCK!
Malcolm
