Definition and Usage
The document() function is used to access nodes in an external XML document. The external XML document must be valid and parseable.
One way to use this function is to look up data in an external document. For example, if we want to find the Celsius value corresponding to a Fahrenheit value, we access a document containing precomputed values:
<xsl:value-of select="document('celsius.xml')/celsius/result[@value=$value]"/>
Syntax
node-set document(object,node-set?)
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| object | Required. Defines the URI of the external XML document. |
