Namespace

1 - Namespace

In Stroom Namespace typically refers to an XML Namespace. Namespaces are used in XML to distinguish different elements, e.g. where an XSLT is transforming XML in the records:2 Namespace into XML in the event-logging:3 Namespace.

An XSLT will define short aliases for Namespaces to make them easier to reference within the XSLT document. For example, in this snippet of an XML document, the aliases are: stroom, evt, xsl, xsi.

<xsl:stylesheet
  xmlns="event-logging:3"
  xpath-default-namespace="records:2"
  xmlns:stroom="stroom"
  xmlns:evt="event-logging:3"
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
