Alternative to NSXMLDocument on the iPhone for XSLT purposes...

Question

I know it's been asked before (like here), but is there way to natively use XSLT on the iPhone? If not, and I need to use libxslt, is there any documentation/tutorial of how to use it on the iPhone?

EDIT: I've decided to use libxslt. What files are necessary to include? I haven't found any tutorials of examples of use on the iPhone, and I'm unsure of how to approach it. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

It depends how you want to use XSLT; not sure what you mean by "natively". If you're just embedding a browser, MobileSafari will interpret XSLT for you.

If you're just converting one XML document into another for processing, libxslt is not a bad choice. There's no difference using libxslt on the iPhone from any other platform. Given Apple doesn't include headers for it, it is likely they don't want you using the bundled copy. You are better off compiling a copy into your application instead, against the provided libxml2 library.

If you want a more specific answer you may wish to pose a more specific question. :-)
