Suppose you open the XML mapper and select
books.xml
as the source document and
catalog.xml
as the target document. You then map elements in the
books.xml
document or structure to elements in the
catalog.xml
document or structure. The result is a stylesheet that you can apply to
books.xml
and to other files that have a structure similar to that of
books.xml
. When you apply this stylesheet, the result is an XML document whose structure is consistent with that of
catalog.xml
.
Now suppose you want to apply a stylesheet to
catalog.xml
and output an XML file that has a structure similar to
books.xml
. To do this, you must use the XSLT mapper to create a second stylesheet. This time,
catalog.xml
is the source document and
books.xml
is the destination document. The result of this mapping is a stylesheet that you can apply to documents that have a structure similar to that of
catalog.xml.
