====== Transform View ======
The [[book:Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture]] definition of Transform View:\\
"A view that processes domain data element by element and transforms it into HTML."

The transform view pattern is typically implemented using [[http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt|XSLT]].

Martin Fowler's take on the difference between Transform View and [[Template View]] in [[book:Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture]]:\\
"The key difference between Transform View and [[Template View]] is the way in which the view is organized.  A [[Template View]] is organized around the output.  A Transform View is organized around separate transforms for each kind of input element."

There is some discussion in favor of the Transform View vs the [[Template View]] in [[http://xao-php.sourceforge.net/ctrl.php?op=articles/templating_pty-vs-std|Proprietary template systems versus the standard XSLT]].

Systems built round the Transform View pattern include;
