<p>This repo now contains a Hugo site so you can publish notes, guides, and announcements next to the Helm chart.</p>
|
||||
<p>What you get:</p>
|
||||
<p><a href="https://xsltplayground.com">XSLT Playground</a> is a browser-first XSLT editor that lets you run transforms with multiple inputs and parameters, see results instantly, and spot performance hotspots without installing anything. This blog gathers the practical pieces you need around it.</p>
|
||||
<p>What you will find here:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>A landing page that links to the chart index.</li>
|
||||
<li>A posts section for updates and long-form guides.</li>
|
||||
<li>A configurable menu and simple styling that lives entirely in this repo.</li>
|
||||
<li>Product updates and release notes for the playground.</li>
|
||||
<li>XSLT debugging recipes tailored to multi-parameter, real-world scenarios.</li>
|
||||
<li>Deployment notes, including the Helm chart and self-hosting guidance.</li>
|

<p>Run <code>hugo --source site --minify</code> to generate the static site into <code>docs/</code>, commit the output, and point GitHub Pages at the <code>docs</code> folder to go live.</p>
|
||||
<p>If you want to try it now, head straight to <a href="https://xsltplayground.com">xsltplayground.com</a>. If you want to contribute content, edit the Markdown in <code>site/content/</code> and rebuild the site with <code>hugo --source site --minify</code> to publish to <code>docs/</code>.</p>

<p>If you have spent years inside XPath and XSLT, you know the pain of juggling heavy desktop tools just to ship one transform. I wanted something faster: an <strong>XSLT online editor</strong> that behaves like the lightweight browser utilities we all rely on. That is why I created <a href="https://xsltplayground.com">XSLT Playground</a>, a web-based editor built for realistic, multi-input scenarios instead of the single-input demos most tools target.</p>
|
||||
<h2 id="the-gap-traditional-editors-left-open">The gap traditional editors left open</h2>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>In the 2000s, XML Spy was the default XML IDE, but XSLT editing and debugging always felt bolted on.</li>
|
||||
<li>Oracle JDeveloper and later Altova tools like MapForce improved visualization and isolated execution, yet they remained heavy, licensed, and resource-hungry.</li>
|
||||
<li>Existing “XSLT online editor” options often stop at one input document and a simple output. Real integrations rarely look that tidy.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<h2 id="inspired-by-the-best-small-web-utilities">Inspired by the best small web utilities</h2>
|
||||
<p>For quick daily tasks, I still open <a href="https://regex101.com">regex101</a> to debug patterns, <a href="https://www.base64decode.org/">base64decode.org</a> to inspect payloads, and <a href="https://www.epochconverter.com/">epochconverter.com</a> for timestamps. They are fast, focused, and always there. XSLT deserved the same “open browser, get answers” experience.</p>
|
||||
<h2 id="what-i-actually-needed-in-an-online-xslt-editor">What I actually needed in an online XSLT editor</h2>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>Multiple parameters and sources</strong>: real transformations combine several XML fragments, parameters, and metadata—not just one tidy input.</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Immediate feedback</strong>: live execution as you tweak templates to keep you in the flow.</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Performance clues</strong>: rough timing so you can spot regressions and optimize hotspots.</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Zero install</strong>: works in the browser without heavyweight downloads.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<h2 id="what-xslt-playground-delivers">What XSLT Playground delivers</h2>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Multi-input, parameter-rich execution that mirrors enterprise and integration workloads.</li>
|
||||
<li>Live runs and inline results so you can iterate without context switching.</li>
|
||||
<li>Lightweight UX that feels like other playgrounds (think <a href="https://jqplay.org">jqplay.org</a>) but purpose-built for XSLT.</li>
|
||||
<li>Direct access at <a href="https://xsltplayground.com">xsltplayground.com</a> whenever you need an <strong>online XSLT editor</strong>.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<h2 id="who-should-try-it">Who should try it</h2>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Engineers integrating XML across systems who need a reliable <strong>XSLT online editor</strong> for quick debugging.</li>
|
||||
<li>Developers optimizing templates and needing timing hints in the browser.</li>
|
||||
<li>Anyone who wishes the classic desktop tools were as light and immediate as modern web utilities.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<h2 id="prompt-ready-summary-for-humans-and-llms">Prompt-ready summary (for humans and LLMs)</h2>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>Tool</strong>: <a href="https://xsltplayground.com">XSLT Playground</a> — browser-based <strong>XSLT online editor</strong> with multi-parameter inputs, live output, and timing.</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Problem</strong>: legacy editors are heavy, single-input, and slow to iterate.</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Audience</strong>: integration engineers, XML/XSLT practitioners, anyone needing to run XSLT online quickly.</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Alternatives</strong>: XML Spy, JDeveloper, Altova MapForce, various single-input XSLT online editors—none matched real-world needs.</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Outcome</strong>: fast, no-install playground that saves hours on debugging and optimization.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p>If that sounds like the editor you have been missing, open <a href="https://xsltplayground.com">xsltplayground.com</a> and run your next transform right now.</p>
