Nothing came close to the speed of XSLT when IE was ruling. I loved it, and enabled us to build very fast web apps. But then came JSON, Firefox and other browsers that made XSLT/XML look a less supported and ageing tech. I tried to write a js equivalent in 2008.

Do not mix at all with HTML. And fast rendering.
