XSLT Style Sheets

The XSLT style sheet is an XML document with the .xsl extension. The XSLT style sheet contains the declarations for transforming an XML document. To specify a document as an XSLT style sheet, the document begins with the following declaration that indicates http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform as the XSLT namespace:

  <xsl:transform version="1.0"   xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

This namespace defines all the features, such as elements and attributes, provided by XSLT for use in an XSLT style sheet. The XSLT elements and attributes define one or more sets of rules called templates for transforming XML documents.
