Article: AJAX Web Services' Next Generation

Immediate Solutions, XSLT…

Both Amazon and Google provide a free XSLT transformation service that enables the user to place live data (transformed via JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) output format) directly onto the browser web page using a little javascript code.
XSL (Extensible Stylesheet Language) is a language for transforming XML documents (into other documents/document types). Since the web services output from Amazon, Google & Yahoo! is essentially in XML, XSL is useful to transform those documents into stylized XML documents, plain text, HTML, or – for this tutorials’ purpose – javascript. It’s just text after all. Additionally, XSLT (XSL transformation) allows you to define not only the output, but the content-type of the output as well.
