I have a project where I need to convert a XML file to CSV file and vice versa. I can’t use a single XSL file because, there are different XML and CSV formats. So, I am just wondering if there is any way (any tool or editors or any APIs) to create XSL file based on XSD file.
I am also open to any other suggestions too (I believe I can’t avoid XSL because in the future I might be asked to convert to different formats such as pdf, html etc)
An XSD file describes the structure of a valid XML file that conforms to certain rules. An XSLT file describes how to transform an input XML document to some output form, which may or may not be XML. It is not possible to deduce an XSL transformation from an XSD file as they address completely different aspects of XML.
In other words, an XSD allows you to confirm that an XML document adheres to a predefined set of constraints, but says nothing about what to do with the XML, or how to transform it to something else.
