Logging with XSLT

Question

How and where could I output log messages for debug and performance purposes during an XSLT transformation?

I guess the simplest method is using express

Answer 1

Modifying your XSLT itself for the purposes of logging is inevitably going to impact on performance, you're probably better off using an external tool. There are a few available depending on what you're working with:

• Stylus Studio
• Visual Studio
• Altova XMLSpy
