API output style

I hate to ask, but I've searched all over the internet trying to figure this out.

So, I get an API to display information from Education.com. I got all the school information, location information, etc. But how do I style it?

I want to make a nice table, the output is like this:

<params>
 <param>
  <value>
   <array>
   <data>
<value>
 <struct>
  <member>
   <name>school</name>
   <value>
    <struct>
     <member>
      <name>schoolid</name>
      <value>
       <string>17914</string>
      </value>
     </member>
     <member>
      <name>schoolname</name>
      <value>
       <string>Fair Oaks Community High School</string>
      </value>
     </member>

Would I just use CSS or did I forget about the step? I'm sorry for my ignorance.

Regards, Karl

While you can certainly write your own XML parser to create the HTML table however you like, this is one of the many things XSLT comes up with. Some examples:

This is the perfect solution for XSLT. You can iterate over the elements in this XML and output them directly to HTML.
