Stapling, parsing JSON with XSLT

Stapling is a JavaScript library that enables XSLT formatting for JSON objects.

About

Instead of using a JavaScript templating engine and text/html templates, Stapling gives you the opportunity to use XSLT templates - loaded asynchronously with Ajax and then cached client side - to parse your JSON datasources. By using XSLT you are using a uniformed language with a W3C specification, available to render the same output on both server side and client side using the same templates - compared to all different JavaScript templating engines that uses their own template markup.

The library is tested in:

• Firefox 10, 11, 12
• Chrome 17, 18
• IE 8, IE 9
• Safari 5
• Opera 11

IE 7 is supported if JSON (https://github.com/douglascrockford/JSON-js) is available, as well as a localStorage fallback (https://github.com/marcuswestin/store.js).

New in Stapling 1.5

From v1.5 Stapling now supports some events; before a request is sent a request event is propagated and before parsing a JSON collection with a XSLT template, a parse event is raised.

The events can cancel the current task by returning false, so the library is now more dynamic. To see the events in action, see the <a href="https://github.com/WelcomWeb/Stapling/tree/master/examples">example files</a>.
