    Published in: CODE Magazine: 2001 - Issue 2

    In this article, Simon Ferguson explains XSL patterns as a powerful, simplified subset of XPath used to query and manipulate XML documents. He highlights how XSL patterns function similarly to SQL Select statements by allowing precise selection, filtering, and transformation of XML nodes. Through examples and explanations of syntax, Ferguson demonstrates how understanding and using these patterns enable efficient extraction and restructuring of XML data, making them essential for working with XSL stylesheets and advanced XML querying tasks.
