How does Smooks simplify my XSLT?
Smooks can be used to simplify your XSLT in a number of ways: • Because Smooks supports targeting of transformation resources (including XSLT) at message fragments, it’s easier to modularize and reuse your XSLT. • Smooks allows you to mix and match different technologies within the context of a single message transform. This means you can transform (or pre-process) fragments of the message, not easily consumed by XSLT, using other technologies e.g. Java or Groovy. See the examples. Unlike XSL Extensions however, it supports mixing these technologies with your XSLT, [#SmooksFAQs-xsltcustomextensions without effecting the XSLT’s portability].
