eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) is a declarative language used to convert {{Glossary("XML")}} documents into other XML documents, {{Glossary("HTML")}}, {{Glossary("PDF")}}, plain text, and so on.

XSLT has its own processor that accepts XML input, or any format convertible to an XQuery and XPath Data Model. The XSLT processor produces a new document based on the XML document and an XSLT stylesheet, making no changes to the original files in the process.
