Hi Suresh,
XSLT mapping is used to transform the input XML into a target XML format or some other format like xhtml, text or pdf.

In this case XSLT 2.0 style processor will be called to execute the map. You can choose JDK as you runtime as well if you have PI version >=7.3.

XSLT is useful when data set not that large. But I would prefer Java mapping over XSLT for faster processing .
