From: John Carter Date: 2005-06-21T10:36:28+09:00 Subject: Ruby/REXML vs XSLT I'm just looking at 5000 lines of the gnarliest XSLT that generates out of XML some C to pack and unpack a serial protocol. Ooo, it's ugly, ugly, ugly. Anyone ever tried to do something in both Ruby REXML and the samething in XSLT? Was it prettier in Ruby? Was it easier? Fewer lines of Code? (by what ratio) How about speed? The XSLT is chewing on 14500 lines of XML in (almost) too long a time. I itch to rewrite it.
