# Parameter Transformation Output

The **parameter-transformation-xslt** will use **parameter-transformation-input.xml** as an input and will generate **parameter-transformation-output.xml**.

The required output scheme is:

```xml
<parameter-transformation-output>
    <parameter name="foo" value="xxx"/>
    <parameter name="fang" value="xxx"/>
    ...
    <parameter name="long" value="xxx"/>
<parameter-transformation-output>
```

* Each parameter existing in endpoints.xml must be present in the output, except if the parameter has a default-value (which will be applied if the parameter were missing in the output).
* Output of a parameter not existing in endpoints.xml will raise an error.
* If the same parameter appears multiple times, then later values override earlier values.

## Raise Custom Error

Optionally an \<error> tag can be added. If existing, an error will be raised. The custom error message is taken from this tag. Note that an empty error tag \<error/> will also raise an error, but with an empty error message.

```xml
<parameter-transformation-output>
    <error>This is my error-message</error>
    <parameter name="foo" value="xxx"/>
    <parameter name="fang" value="xxx"/>
    ...
    <parameter name="long" value="xxx"/>
<parameter-transformation-output>
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://onestopconcept.gitbook.io/open-endpoints/configuration/parameter-transformation/parameter-transformation-output.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
