XSL vs Java
May 23rd, 2003
In this tension, I'm apparently on the Java side. I was fed up with constantly having to edit, re-edit and update my feed reader and my blogroll. So I decided to consolidate everything in one XML file, and use some XSLT to get the right format for the right files. After 2.3 seconds of trying this, I noticed that I didn't know where to start. I'm still not used to think in XSLT, and it was for personal use only, so I did everything in Java. Quick. Powerful. Elegant.
At least for me. I guess a real XSL-er could do the same quick, powerful, elegant stuff in XSL. Show me that you are one ;-)
