I'm not sure if you are trolling, but you left out the actual transform. In my experience, XSLT feels optimized towards transforms, which most other languages aren't. I also dislike XSLT, but whenever I do things like this in Python, C# or C++ it tends to get more messy then my XLTS when the transforms are nontrivial.

I'm getting downvotes here? Obviously, not from ohyesyodo b/c he does not have enough karma to allocate downvotes.

You are probably getting downloads from the fact that your response did not make any sense.

If you know Python, my response make perfect sense, in that it's easy to transform xml string -> python tree -> new python tree -> new xml string or json string or csv string.
