Designing XSLT transforms with parameters and multiple inputs
The article discusses best practices for designing XSLT transforms that utilize parameters and multiple inputs. It emphasizes the importance of clear input modeling and parameter design to create predictable and maintainable transformations. Additionally, it suggests strategies for handling optional data and testing various input scenarios to ensure robustness.
- ▪Many real-world transformations require merging a primary payload with reference data or configuration.
- ▪Input selection and parameter design should be treated as first-class API design for the stylesheet.
- ▪Separating parsing from formatting can simplify testing and support multiple output formats.

You often merge a primary payload with reference data, catalog lookups, or environment configuration. Done well, this results in a clean, predictable transform.
