XML and XSLT: Transforming Raw XML into Readable Reports

THIS CONTENT HAS BEEN MOVED TO GITHUB: https://github.com/sweenig/xml_and_xslt



Not too long ago I was tasked with doing a health check for one of our customers. They used one of the products I was less familiar with, so I decided to look at some previous examples of health check reports and see what information I would need to gather and put in the report. It turns out one of my co-workers had already built a script that gathered some of the necessary information. At my request, he modified the output to XML so that I could then take that XML and use and XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformation) to convert it into a nice pretty report in a browser.
