Transform View
From Patterns For PHP
The Transform View pattern is used with MVC pattern, usually implemented using XSLT.
Differently of Template View, in Transform View you don't have a previous skeleton of output. Template View extract data from the Model layer and build the output.
Thus, the basic process is:
- the Transform View layer request a data from Model;
- the Model hand out data in XML format;
- the Transform View applies XSLT style to XML and give us the correspondent output (HTML, PDF, ODT...)
