XSLT https://www.w3.org/TR/xslt/ is a type of stylesheet to transform XML into HTML (XHTML), PDF and also XML.

Not only XSLT can produces a valid XHTML document, but one of the best benefits of XSLT is, that unlike PHP, the rendering and processing of XML documents occur on client-side, which means that if one wants to have a site with a large traffic, and reduce the CPU processing costs, XSLT is a viable solution!

I wanted to have a proof of concept to that approach and so I have made, with the help of XSLT, a dynamic XHTML site generator which is solely based on the Atom (RFC 4287)XMPP (RFC 6120).

See https://git.xmpp-it.net/sch/Rivista and try it at https://xpta.woodpeckersnest.space/

Rivista has 0% HTML code.

Another XML page which makes use of an XSLT stylesheet to transform XML data into a beautiful XHTML page https://yaxim.org/doap/yaxim.rdf.xml

There are of course syndication feeds (Atom and RSS) which XSLT stylesheet are commonly being utilized with.
