Transformations
Transformations are used in sequential workflows and other places where you need to modify data loaded from a database or transform them to a different format.
For example:
-
From one XML structure to another XML structure
-
From XML to other formats, e.g. HTML or PDF
-
Filter or update the same XML document
-
Create an HTML as a data-based API page
ORIGAM uses XSLT as a transformation language. XSLT is a template based language for working with XML data.
