     Hi All,

     

    I would like to have few reports for my web application. Can any one suggest which approach is the best for performance and maintainability out of these two options?

     

                1. HTML

                2. XML with XSLT

     

    Your prompt reply would greatly be appreciated.

     

    Thanks in Advance

     

    Regards

    I'd use both options, especially if the reports are essentially static:

    XML+XSLT to generate a HTML page, which you then serve to the client. This works well if you can pre-generate the reports.

    The XML+XSLT combination will be processed every time the XML document is accessed. If you have a large XML document it can take some time to render the resulting document. Having said that, I find the XML+XSLT combination easier to maintain than a pre .Net ASP page, especially for a complicated page.

    As usual, it depends on your needs.
