To be fair, many of the things you listed are able to implement features not possible with XSLT.

- berkes 3y agoNot sure if I understand correct, but the things I listed (event listeners, AJAX, etc) are things needed to be implemented so that you get what XML+XSLT in a browser give you for free. To be clear: there are lots of things that XML+XSLT cannot do, but which JavaScript+HTML can do (in an HTTP context). But for the most typical HTTP usecase: a website presenting information, XML+XSLT is fully up to the task, yet we forego that, and instead pull out the big, complex "guns", entire JS frameworks. A knee-jerk reaction that I blame on the bad rep XML got, and the praise it's incomplete but simpler replacement, JSON, got.
