Why do we use XML to validate, manipulate, transform etc. other XML documents, fragments? I want to do my work in Java or another language, not a XML "language" like XSLT, XML Schema etc. The XML "languages" contains a lot of noise and duplicated information. Just try build a fairly large XSL stylesheet, an it will fast be hard to read. My favorite IDE do not support manipulating XML documents. We have Java, C++ etc. We have if-else, while, switch etc. We can do classes, compile ......... We don't we use them?? To me XML should be a part of my chosen programming language. No only files on a network or filesystem. I want XML in Java! Why not like this: Stylesheet style = { <XSL:STYLESHEET { [xmlns.xsl = "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"] [version = "1.0"] // Book <XSL:TEMPLATES { [match = "Book"] <HTML { <HEAD { <TITLE { name.equals("") ? "Hej, Guest!" : "Hej, " + name +"!"; } } <BODY { <CENTER { <XSL:TEMPLATES { [select="title"] } } <XSL:TEMPLATES { [select="chapter"] } <XSL:TEMPLATES { [select="appendix"] } } } } } } // stylesheet I use Apples Project Builder, and the indenting works perfectly, for the code above!
