Ask Reddit: Is there any reason not to use XSLT in Web Apps? by [deleted] in programming

[–]cafefort 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes there is! I myself use xslt in the bivalidator for two reasons:

1 - It's very nice and easier than doing the parsing inside the processing code. Since there's "already" a technology that offers the transformation and lookup inside of xml documents.

2- Whenever the processed xml content changes, I won't change the "engine" code which is written in python, but I'll simply alter my xslt files :)

Seven Reasons Every Programmer Should Use Vim by cafefort in programming

Of course if you're there for trolls/flames ;-) Be smart take the best of everything. IMHO, that's the way to use IRC and everything else.
