XSL Transformations - a language for transforming XML documents into other XML documents.
XSLT uses XPath to find information in an XML document
The root element of a XSLT document is either <xsl:transform> or <xsl:stylesheet>. These are equivalent. Therefore the header of an XSLT document will be: <xsl:stylesheet version=“1.0” xmlns:xsl=”http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform”> or <xsl:transform version=“1.0” xmlns:xsl=”http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform”>
