I am looking for a online program that parses any xml to html. For instance, if I have the following xml layout
<users>
<user>
</name>john</name>
<pictures>
<pic1>URL of picture1.png</pic1>
<pic2>URL of picture2.png</pic2>
</pictures>
</user>
<user>
</name>mary</name>
<pictures>
<pic1>URL of picture1.png</pic1>
<pic2>URL of picture2.png</pic2>
</pictures>
</user>
</users>
it can create an html page displaying the content of the nodes and give some minimal formatting for easy reading. Any such tool?
Edit: I just gave an example, I want a generic tool that can parse any xml without knowing its structure beforehand.
One way to tackle this would be to apply an XSLT transformation.
You'd need to create an XSL stylesheet, something like...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head>
<title>Contacts</title>
</head>
<body>
<xsl:for-each select="//user">
<h2><xsl:value-of select="name" /></h2>
<p><xsl:value-of select="pictures/pic1" /></p>
<p><xsl:value-of select="pictures/pic2" /></p>
</xsl:for-each>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Then link to it at the top of your xml file. In the example below the second line links to the stylesheet named 'myStyleSheet.xsl'.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="myStyleSheet.xsl"?>
<users>
<user>
<name>john</name>
<pictures>
<pic1>URL of picture1.png</pic1>
<pic2>URL of picture2.png</pic2>
</pictures>
</user>
<user>
<name>mary</name>
<pictures>
<pic1>URL of picture1.png</pic1>
<pic2>URL of picture2.png</pic2>
</pictures>
</user>
</users>
You could try this.

I have this xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<interface id="RESTInterface">

<argument type="aURL">link</argument>
</parameters>
<return>void</return>
</abstract_method>
</interface>
And I am trying to create an xslt style sheet to create this result:
You could start with smth like this. (I made the assumption that you might be restricted to XSLT 1.0)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xsl:template match="/">

<body>
<xsl:apply-templates select="interface"></xsl:apply-templates>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="interface">
<h1><xsl:value-of select="#id"/></h1>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<td>Operation</td>
<td>Argument(s)</td>

</tr>
</thead>
<xsl:apply-templates select="abstract_method"></xsl:apply-templates>
</table>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="abstract_method">

<td><p><xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="count(./throws/exception) > 0">Yes</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>No</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose></p></td>
</tr>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="argument">

<xsl:if test="following-sibling::argument">, </xsl:if></span>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I have an XML File:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet hred="remakes.xsl" type="text/xsl" ?>
<remakes>
<remake>
<rtitle>Pygmalion</rtitle>
<ryear>1938</ryear>
<fraction>0.5</fraction>
<stitle>Pygmalion</stitle>
<syear>1937</syear>
</remake>...
and I have created a stylesheet:
?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/remakes">
<html>
<body>
<table border="1">
<tr>
<th>rtitle<</th>
<th>fraction<</th>
<th>stitle<</th>
<th>syear<</th>
</tr>
<xsl:for-each select="remake">
<xsl:value-of select="rtitle"/></td>
<xsl:value-of select="fraction"/></td>
<xsl:value-of select="stitle"/></td>
<xsl:value-of select="syear"/></td>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
But browsers don't parse it so instead of a table there is chaos. Is there a mistake in the code?
There are a number of problems with your stylesheet, although they could always be typos with your question, but as there are too many to mention in comments, they are as follows:
The namespace prefix xsl has not been bound. You should type xmlns:xsl="..."
There is a < symbol in each table header <th>rtitle<</th>. If you really wanted this, you should write it as <th>rtitle<</th>, but more likely it should just be <th>rtitle</th>
You have a closing <\td> for each row, but no opening <td> tag.
You also really need to wrap those <td> in a <tr> tag for it to be rendered properly.
Try this XSLT
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/remakes">
<html>
<body>
<table border="1">
<tr>
<th>rtitle</th>
<th>fraction</th>
<th>stitle</th>
<th>syear</th>
</tr>
<xsl:for-each select="remake">
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="rtitle"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="fraction"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="stitle"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="syear"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
When i open the xml file with mozilla i get this error:

How can i fix that ?

Unless you forget to include a part of your XSLT file you're missing some closing tags (template and stylesheet). Just add them to the end of your xsl.xsl document:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
...your stuff here...

Hi,

</catalog>
Expected Output and Actual Output Below:
Expected output:
My CD Collection
Title | Artist
asdfg | 100
Actual Output:
My CD Collection
Title | Artist
asdfg | 10
Would be really thankful for a solution. Thanks in advance.
Basically, the logic in your XSLT is saying:
If any item id is mod1
Then show a table cell with the value "asdfg"
And if any item's item ID is up1
Then show the value attribute of the first item's item in the document
To accomplish what you are trying to do, you can do this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!-- Edited by XMLSpy® -->
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<table border="1">
<tr bgcolor="#9acd32">

<xsl:variable name="mod1"
select="//catalog/cd/title/artist/country/item[#id = 'mod1']" />
<xsl:if test="$mod1">
<td>asdfg</td>
<xsl:variable name="up1" select="$mod1/item[#id = 'up1']" />
<xsl:if test="$up1">
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="$up1/#value" />
</td>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:if>
</tr>

As XSLT goes, this isn't very representative of what well-written XSLT looks like, but I am putting it here as an example because I assume that this is not your ultimate goal and that you are trying this as a step toward your final goal.
For the next step, I suggest opening up a new question.
I have an XML document with companies listed in it. I want to create a link with XSLT that contains the <link> child of the next node. Sorry if this is confusing..here is some sample XML of what i'm trying to obtain:
<portfolio>
<company>
<name>Dano Industries</name>
<link>dano.xml</link>
</company>
<company>
<name>Mike and Co.</name>
<link>mike.xml</link>
</company>
<company>
<name>Steve Inc.</name>
<link>steve.xml</link>
</company>
</portfolio>
I want two links, "BACK" and "NEXT". While currently on mike.xml, I want BACK to link to "dano.xml" and NEXT linked to "steve.xml"...etc..and have it dynamically change when on a different page based on the nodes around it. I want to do this because I may add and change the list as I go along, so I don't want to have to manually re-link everything.
How can I obtain this? Sorry I am new to XSLT, so please explain with solution if possible! Thanks in advance!
Based on your comments to Dimitre, I think what you're going to want to do is use the document() function to access your "master list" XML file.
What you are actually running the stylesheet on is the individual fragments (dano.xml, mike.xml, steve.xml), right?
I'll use "mike.xml" for an example. I don't know what the fragments look like so I had to make one up. You will need to be able to identify the correct <company> in the master list based on something in the fragment. In my example, the fragment has a <compName> element with the same value as the <name> element in the corresponding company in the master list XML.
Here is what the "master list" XML, "dano/mike/steve" XML, the stylesheet, and the resulting HTML look like:
master_list.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<portfolio>
<company>
<name>Dano Industries</name>
<link>dano.xml</link>
</company>
<company>
<name>Mike and Co.</name>
<link>mike.xml</link>
</company>
<company>
<name>Steve Inc.</name>
<link>steve.xml</link>
</company>
</portfolio>
dano.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<fragment>
<compName>Dano Industries</compName>
<compInfo>Some info about Dano Industries</compInfo>
</fragment>
mike.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<fragment>
<compName>Mike and Co.</compName>
<compInfo>Some info about Mike and Co.</compInfo>
</fragment>
steve.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<fragment>
<compName>Steve Inc.</compName>
<compInfo>Some info about Steve Inc.</compInfo>
</fragment>
