Re: minified json output

json support could be the motivation for us to upgrade to v 3 techniques.

I wish the rest of the world would get off version 1.


Thanks for the help

Cheers,
Peter

Sorry, I should have linked to the public version:

Dmitri's suggestion and your direction have helped.  Essentially we have got
literal json strings/string parts in the <xsl:template>.

For example :

<xsl:template match ='/'>
                {
                                <xsl:apply-templates select='atom:feed'/>
                }
</xsl:template>

What we should do is use variables etc for these strings, which will lead to
more readable code plus minified json

Perhaps :
<xsl:template match ='/'>
                <xsl:value-of select="'{'"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select='atom:feed'/>
                <xsl:value-of select="'}'"/>
</xsl:template>

Either that or

<xsl:template match ='/'>
                <xsl:text>{</xsl:text>
<xsl:apply-templates select='atom:feed'/>
                <xsl:text>}</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

Or if you're into DTDs

<xsl:template match ='/'>
                &OPENCURLY;
<xsl:apply-templates select='atom:feed'/>
                &CLOSECURLY;
</xsl:template>

where the entity references expand to xsl:text elements.
