Don't kill my pretty RSS feed (XSLT)

XSLT makes RSS feeds readable for normies. Chrome is removing it by 2026. Here's why that matters for podcasters and the open web.

I have updated the Go-XML suite (a parser, XPath and XSLT) and started the documentation at

https://doc.speedata.de/goxml/

The XSLT processor is still work in progress, 21.8% of the official test suite pass. So all basic stuff will work!

We *NEED* to save #xslt !

I read this article (https://wok.oblomov.eu/tecnologia/google-killing-open-web/) and cannot thing but the fact there’s a precise will to kill the free internet and make it a product.

Google is killing the open web

The juggernaut is taking advantage of its dominant position to enclose and destroy the commons.

TIL I learned about #XML namespaces `select`ing them in #XSLT <xsl:… select=“…”/> statements.

What was particularly entertaining was the fact that the nodes weren’t prefixed.

Instead a namespace was set at — I don’t know what to call it — the same way the stylesheye is referenced in a <? … ?> statement up above the <!DOCTYPE/>.

Once I figured that out and how to select it, things started clicking.

TIL that #xsltproc (on my system) only supports #XSLT version 1.1.

I learned this because the `replace( … )` function apparently requires XSLT version 2.0.

I want the `replace( … )` function because #IANA put two comma separated addresses in one record while all the others are a single address.

The node the addresses are in is named “address” which seems singular to me.

But IANA put `192.0.0.170/32, 192.0.0.171/32 ` in an <address/> node.

Thanks IANA. 😒

No, I have no idea why <registry/> is nested the way that it is.

I’m still annoyed that Chrome and Firefox are dumping xml+#xslt support. I don’t want to redo everything in json or whatever. I don’t want to code what xml+xslt do out of the box with no code. I moved the parsing and transform to PHP and it works fine, but it means it takes a few seconds before the page loads. Doing it in the browser *feels* faster because I can load the rest of the page instantly. Anyway, don’t mind me, just ranting.

Pls Snd Hulp

I willingly wrote an #XSLT (.xsl) file to parse an Oracle 11i #XML log file.

I had to normalize the XML log file first:

- Prepend opening root node
- Append closing root node
- Substitute ' (apostrophe) in place of '

The XSLT select="..." statements are making more sense.

Today added compound requirements and working with ancestor::* nodes.

I absolutely agree with @davidcarew about usefulness of #sed and #awk.

I am starting to dabble with #xsltproc for some #XML aware bulk modification.

I used #XSLT to convert an XML file into #wget commands to download additional XML files I needed for a project. (First file listed the base name of additional files, each in an element / node.)
