One, Microsoft XML parser name
The current Microsoft XML Analytics program, known as Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML), formerly known as the Microsoft XML Parser, shows that XML is more and more important in Microsoft's products and is no longer just a parser.

three, MSXML GUID and ProgID information

MSXML 4.0 does not overwrite previous versions of MSXML when it is installed. So each version of MSXML can coexist. The current IE default XML parser is MSXML 2.0 or MSXML 3.0, even if MSXML 4.0 is installed. If you want to use the latest installed MSXML 4.0, you must use a script to create an object with version-dependent ProgID
Some common ProgID and corresponding objects are listed below:

Object Name	ProgID
DOMDocument (MSXML 3.0)	MSXML2. DOMDocument
IE default DOMDocument	Microsoft.XMLDOM, MSXML. DOMDocument
DOMDocument (MSXML 4.0)	msxml2.domdocument.4.0
DOMDocument (MSXML 3.0) (version dependent)	MSXML2. domdocument.3.0
IE default XMLHTTP	Microsoft.XMLHTTP
XMLHTTP (MSXML 3.0)	MSXML2. XMLHTTP
XMLHTTP (MSXML 3.0) (version dependent)	MSXML2. xmlhttp.3.0
XMLHTTP (MSXML 4.0)	msxml2.xmlhttp.4.0

From this we can see that if the use of IE default XML Parser object can solve the problem, it is best to use. Be sure to notice the version when you create the object. In addition, the MSXML 4.0 Beta 2 release and later versions will remove Version-independent ProgIDs and GUIDs.

four, MSXML and XSL

The XSL we used to say is actually XSLT 1.0.XSL, the first standard that Microsoft proposed (now the standard for the consortium), but because it was too complex, it finally spawned a more targeted XSLT. It's like XML derived from SGML. The following figure can be a good representation of this relationship:

Xsl-fo function is very powerful, the current Apache org is doing an open source project is to be able to convert XML files through fo to a rich document software, has been implemented in PDF,SVG format.
The xmlns:xsl= http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform standard refers to XSLT,
Xmlns:xsl= "http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl standard refers to XSL.
MSXML 2.6 and previous versions only support XSL. MSXML 3.0 and later versions support XSLT

Five, MSXML publishing methods on the Internet

You can download the CAB package for the publication on the Microsoft site and embed the following code:
<object id= "MSXML4" classid= clsid:88d969c0-f192-11d4-a65f-0040963251e5 "codebase=" msxml4.cab#version= 4,10,9404,0 type= "Application/x-oleobject" > </object>
If you are a different version of MSXML CAB package, be careful to modify the appropriate place in your code.
