Hi Thomas L Berg,

Welcome to MSDN forum.

As the Viorel_ says, you could execute an XSLT transformation from the XML editor. For more information, please refer to this MSDN DOC.

And in the developer community, I find a suggestion about supporting XSLT 3.0 in .Net. This suggestion is under review, then you could vote it, and be patient waiting for the response from the VS Product Team Engineers.

Have a nice day.

Best Regards,

Dylan

Open XSLT file from Solution Explorer, go to Properties (press <F4>), specify the associated XML file in “Input” field, then press <Ctrl+Alt+F5> to see the transformation result. You can also debug it: /en-us/visualstudio/xml-tools/walkthrough-debug-an-xslt-style-sheet?view=vs-2019.

In XSLT 3.0 you should be allowed to parse in json document, but that fails. So i'm thinking that Visual Studio is still doing old xslt? But maybe I have misunderstood something.

Thanks for the reply. I guess what confuses me is that Azure Services, e.g. Logic Apps, have support for XSLT 2.0/3.0 transformations, but I have nowhere to build those transformations with Microsoft Technology :) 

Anyways, thanks for the help.
