Source Documents

In Stylus Studio, a source document in the XSLT mapper can be an XML document, an XML Schema (XSD), or a document type definition (DTD). The role of a source document is to provide Stylus Studio with a structure that it can use to compose the XSLT stylesheet, based on how you map individual source document elements and attributes to nodes in the target structure. Stylus Studio infers the target structure from the document (XML, XSD, or DTD) you specify and displays this structure on the Mapper tab.

This section covers the following topics:

Map between EDIFACT and X12

Anything can be mapped to anything: EDIFACT to X12 or vice-versa, either to XML, and any of those to flat files or other formats. Both the XSLT and XQuery mappers can help bridge complex formats with ease.

XML Unicode Encoding

Stylus Studio supports over 300 different file encodings, including UTF-8, UTF-16, EUC-JP, SHIFT-JIS, and more, alowing you to work with any XML document. Robust text editors support standard editing features, and Sense:X intelligent auto-completion.
