Solved: Convert Simple Transformation to XSLT

junostarke · ‎2023 Sep 08

Is there a tool that can convert a simple transformation to an XSLT program?

The initial dev started with a simple transformation and already includes the mapping, but it has to be redone to an XSLT. As the transformation includes more than 700 lines, is there an easy way to translate the transformation?

I hope that there's a good reason to convert to XSLT, because XSLT is much slower (visible in case of high volume).

For information, if such a tool would exist, it can't convert 100% automatically because the two languages have each unique features.

My 2 cents, I doubt that such a tool exists and was shared by people.

700 lines of code is quite small according to me, you may convert it semi-automatically yourself (find/replace). In less than 1 hour it should be done (maybe ask Generative AI if your code is copyright-permitted to go through the Web).

Thanks Sandra, I noticed ST can't handle fields that are missing in the incoming XML file and wanted to see if XSLT is more flexible.
