Run transforms via browser (legacy), xsltproc, or server libraries. In modern stacks, apps often map XML→objects in code instead of XSLT — but feeds and publishing pipelines still use it.
Going deeper
In production XML work, Applying transforms matters when documents, stylesheets, or apps must stay maintainable across teams and releases—not only in isolated demos.
Common pitfalls
Watch for copy-paste configs, skipping validation or tests, and mixing concerns (structure vs presentation vs behavior) in one layer.
Practice
- Apply one technique from this lesson in the playground.
- Write one interview-style sentence explaining when you would use applying transforms on a real project.
