Hi,
I'm new to xslt and need some advice.

I have a bit of XML which I want to add to and remove from. Right now it has too much of some information and not enough of other information.

I know I can use xslt to transform the xml but I want to know is this the best option?

The alternative is to use a parser to read in the file, add/remove information and write it out to a new file. I've never used xslt so if you guys could give me some beginners pointers it would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

I'd go for the XSLT. I use it a lot in work and have done parsing of XML with java in previous work. In the main it's the better option imo.
