[ARTICLE] XML Transformations using REXML

[James Britt]

Toot toot!

That's the sound of my own horn.

The January 2006 issue of Dr. Dobbs magazine has an article of mine, XML
Transformations using REXML.

I don't know if the article will be available for free reading on the
Dr. Dobbs Web site, so you may have to buy the magazine to read it.

Well worth it, of course.

(It's also the 30th Anniversary issue.)

Somewhat related to this.

The lack of a pure ruby XSLT engine is on occasions annoying, because then =
I
find myself descending to the nether regions of java, PHP and friends

I was thinking about the viability of an XSLT doc A that matchs
against arbitrary XSLT B and emits ruby code that effectivly performs the
same transformation as the original XSLT document B.

Eventually the XSLT A would be able to 'self compile' to some ruby code tha=
t
would replace it. Ie read some XSLT and emit functionally equivilent ruby
code.

Does this sound like a sensible approach to getting 'pure ruby' XSLT
functionality?
