Transform reads URL or file JSON/XML data feeds and converts those feeds to HTML using Dust or XSLT, acting as a controller in an MVC architecture.

== Description ==

Transform is a WordPress plugin that reads JSON or XML* feeds and transforms the feeds to HTML using display templates written in Dust (for JSON) or XSLT (for XML). Feeds and displays can be URLs to pages on the local or a remote web server, a path to a file on the site’s web server or static text in the WordPress database. The plugin is the controller in an MVC environment.

* Transforming XML feeds requires XSLT support in PHP (see http://php.net/manual/en/xsl.installation.php).

The unregistered version of the Transform plugin allows the creation of five Transform instances. To have more than five instances the Transform plugin needs to be registered.
