Title
Body
What advantages are there for using either XSLT or Linq to XML for HTML parsing in C#? This is under the assumption that the html has been cleaned so it is valid xhtml. These values will eventually go into a c# object to be validated and processed. Please let me know if these are valid and if there are other things to consider. XSLT Advantages: Easy to change quickly and deploy Fairly well known XSLT Disadvantages: Not compiled, so is slower to process String manipulation can be cumbersome Will more challenging to get into the C# object at the end Linq to XML Advantages: Compiled, so it runs faster Allows for better string manipulation Linq to XML Disadvantages: Must be compiled for update Edit: I should clarify, I want these to run long term an the website may update their layout once a while. That was one of the bigger reason I thought I would use something that didn't require compiling.
