XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations)
XSLT (XSL Transformations) is a subset of XSL (Extensible Stylesheet Language) that is
used to transform, or change, the structure of an XML document into a different document
format. For example, you can use an XSLT style sheet to transform an XML document
into an HTML or TXT document.
XML (Extensible Markup Language)
Instead of being a rigid file format, XML is a language for defining agreed-upon formats
that groups can use for exchanging data. Many organizations and businesses are using
XML to transfer product information, transactions, inventory, and other business data.
FileMaker Pro can export XML data that can then be used, for example, by spreadsheet
applications, data charting applications, and enterprise SQL databases. FileMaker Pro
can also import XML data.
