Create xslt files programmatically

Question

I know that I can create `xml` files programmatically by using `DOM` api in java like the following: ``` DocumentBuilderFactory documentBuilderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(); DocumentBuilder documentBuilder = documentBuilderFactory.newDocumentBuilder(); Document document = documentBuilder.newDocument(); Element rootElement = document.createElement("map"); document.appendChild(rootElement); Element em = document.createElement("string"); em.setAttribute("name", "FirstName"); .... ``` But are there any API 's to construct an `xslt` tree? (an api like Dom for example) I need somehing like this: ```

Accepted Answer

Since XSLT it's XML too, you can simply use the same strategy:

```
...
Document document = documentBuilder.newDocument();

Element rootElement = document.createElement("xsl:stylesheet");
// adding attributes like namespaces etc...

document.appendChild(rootElement); 
Element em = document.createElement("xsl:template");
em.setAttribute("match", "/");
```

and so on...

But it's not very elegant. You should use a library or a framework instead, you should easily find one googling around.
