I coded the XSLT to copy one node data to another by validating the attribute value, I got the desired output but I'm curious to know whether there is an efficient way to do this or if this is the only way to do it. [I'm not an XSLT expert] Can someone help !!!

Actual XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<section>
<p>note 1 : 1</p>
<p>note 2 : 2</p>
<p>note 3 : 3</p>
<note id="test1">hello one</note>
<note id="test2">hello two</note>
<note id="test3">hello <i>three</i></note>
<note id="test4">hello <i>four</i></note>
</section>
Output:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><section>
<p>note 1 : <a>hello one</a></p>
<p>note 2 : <a>hello two</a></p>
<p>note 3 : <a>hello <i>three</i></a></p>

Whether it's efficient or not depends on how smart the optimizer in your XSLT processor is. Saxon-EE will do a pretty good job on this, Saxon-HE less so.
If you want to make it efficient on all processors, use keys. Replace an expression like //note[#id=$href] with a call on the key() function. Declare the key as
<xsl:key name="k" match="note" use="id"/>
and then you can get the matching nodes using key('k', $href).
The xsl:when test="$href = //note/#id" is redundant, as xsl:copy-of will do nothing if nothing is selected.
In the note template, I'm not sure what
<xsl:when test="#id = //a/#href">
<xsl:apply-templates select="node" />
</xsl:when>
is trying to achieve, because you don't have any elements named "node". If the aim is to avoid processing a note element at this stage if it was already processed from an a element, then you could build another index with
<xsl:key name="a" match="a" use="1"/>
and replace test="#id = //a/#href" with test="key('a', #href)"

I am quite new to XSLT and need to transform an address xml file.
I need to store the result of an condition test in a variable, I want to use it later in the same template.
Here my source xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<message>
<partner>
<addressInfo>
<addressUsage>
<Code>Default</Code>
<Main>false</Main>
</addressUsage>
<addressUsage>
<Code>BILL_TO</Code>
<Main>false</Main>
</addressUsage>
<Address>...</Address>
</addressInfo>
<addressInfo>
<addressUsage>
<Code>SHIP_TO</Code>
<Main>false</Main>
</addressUsage>
<addressUsage>
<Code>BILL_TO</Code>
<Main>true</Main>
</addressUsage>
<Address>...</Address>
</addressInfo>
</partner>
</message>
Now, I need to know if there is an address with code "BILL_TO" and Main = "true". I need to store this in a variable. But in my test I always fail.
Here my XSLT:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" >
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<!-- copy all nodes and attributes -->
<xsl:template match="#*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*|node()" />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="partner">
<partner>
<xsl:variable name="main_bill_to">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="(./addressInfo/addressUsage/Code = 'BILL_TO' and Main = 'true')">
<xsl:value-of select="'Y'" />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="'N'" />
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:if test="($main_bill_to = 'Y')">
<result>yes</result>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="($main_bill_to = 'N')">
<result>no</result>
</xsl:if>
</partner>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I always get the output "no".
<message>
<partner>
<result>no</result>
</partner>
</message>
Any idea? Many thanks!
This expression is not quite right...
<xsl:when test="(./addressInfo/addressUsage/Code = 'BILL_TO' and Main = 'true')">
You are actually asking "Is there an element addressInfo/addressUsage/Code (under partner) equal to 'BILL_TO', and is there also an element Main (under partner) equal to 'true'".
In other words, it is looking for an element named Main under partner, not under the same addressUsage as the Code element you are checking.
You need to do this...
<xsl:when test="addressInfo/addressUsage[Code = 'BILL_TO' and Main = 'true']">
So, this is now asking "Is there an addressInfo/addressUsage element which has both Code set to 'BILL_TO' and Main set to 'true'"?
Note the ./ is not really necessary, which is why I removed it.
Also note, you don't really need to go to all the trouble of using an xsl:choose to set the variable to "Y" or "N". You can, in this case, simplify the code block to this....
<xsl:template match="partner">
<partner>
<xsl:variable name="main_bill_to" select="addressInfo/addressUsage[Code = 'BILL_TO' and Main = 'true']" />
<xsl:if test="$main_bill_to">
<result>yes</result>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="not($main_bill_to)">
<result>no</result>
</xsl:if>
</partner>
</xsl:template>
So now, you are checking if an element exists to determine what to display.
I have a large number of xml files with a structure similar to the following, although they are far larger:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<a a1="3.0" a2="ABC">
<b b1="P1" b2="123">first
</b>
<b b1="P2" b2="456" b3="xyz">second
</b>
</a>
I want to get the following output:
1|1|b1
1|2|b2
2|1|b1
2|2|b2
2|3|b3
where:
Field 1 is the sequence number for nodes /a/b
Field 2 is the sequence number of the attribute as it appears in the xml file
Field 3 is the attribute name (not value)
I don't quite know how to calculate field 2 correctly.
I've prepared the following xslt file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="#*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="a/b/#*">
<xsl:value-of select="count(../preceding-sibling::*)+1"/>
<xsl:text>|</xsl:text>
<!-- TODO: This is not correct -->
<xsl:value-of select="count(preceding-sibling::*)+1"/>
<xsl:text>|</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
but when I run the following command:
xsltproc a.xslt a.xml > a.csv
I get an incorrect output, as field 2 does not represent the attribute sequence number:
1|1|b1
1|1|b2
2|1|b1
2|1|b2
2|1|b3
Do you have any suggestions on how to get the correct output please?
Please notice that the answers provided in XSLT to order attributes do not provide a solution to this problem.
The order of attributes is irrelevant in XML. For instance, <a a1="3.0" a2="ABC"> and <a a1="3.0" a2="ABC"> are equivalent.
However this specific question is part of a larger application where it is essential to establish the order in which attributes appear in given xml files (and not in xml files that are equivalent to them).
Although, as kjhughes says in comments, attribute order is insignificant. However, you can still select them, and use the position() element to get the numbers you are after (You just can't be sure the order they are output will be the order they appear in the XML, although generally this will be the case).
Try this XSLT. Do note the nested use of xsl:for-each to select only b elements first, to get their position, before getting the attributes, which then have their own separate position.
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="text" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="a/b">
<xsl:variable name="bPosition" select="position()"/>
<xsl:for-each select="#*">
<xsl:value-of select="$bPosition"/>
<xsl:text>|</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="position()"/>
<xsl:text>|</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
You could use the position() of the items in the sequence of attributes that you are iterating over and combine with logic for the position of its parent element.
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="a/b/#*">
<xsl:value-of select="count(../preceding-sibling::*)+1"/>
<xsl:text>|</xsl:text>
<!-- TODO: This is not correct -->
<xsl:value-of select="position() -
(if (count(../preceding-sibling::*)) then count(../preceding-sibling::*)+1 else 0)"/>
<xsl:text>|</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
Which produces the following output:
1|1|b1
1|2|b2
2|1|b1
2|2|b2
2|3|b3
I have the below xml text,
<SUBSCRIBER>
<Anumber>639081000000</Anumber>
<FirstCallDate>20130430104419</FirstCallDate>
<SetyCode>TNT</SetyCode>
<Status>ACT</Status>
<RoamIndicator/>
<PreloadCode>P1</PreloadCode>
<CreationDate>20130116100037</CreationDate>
<PreActiveEndDate/>
<ActiveEndDate>20130804210541</ActiveEndDate>
<GraceEndDate>20140502210541</GraceEndDate>
<RetailerIndicator/>
<OnPeakAccountID>9100</OnPeakAccountID>
<OnPeakSmsExpDate>20130804210504</OnPeakSmsExpDate>
<UnivWalletAcc/>
<UnliSmsOnCtl>20130606211359</UnliSmsOnCtl>
<UnliSmsTriCtl/>
<UnliSmsGblCtl/>
<UnliMocOnCtl>20130606211359</UnliMocOnCtl>
<UnliMocTriCtl/>
<UnliMocGblCtl/>
<UnliSurfFbcCtl>20130606212353</UnliSurfFbcCtl>
</SUBSCRIBER>
How can I iterate/parse over each xml tag name and get the value ( I need the name of the tag and value in a different variables) ? And also, How can I start iterating from particular tag name ? Ex: I would like to start iterating UnivWalletAcc
Please advise.
So far, I have tried the following,
<xsl:template match="SUBSCRIBER">
<xsl:variable name="tagName">
<xsl:value-of select="/*/*/name()"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="tagValue">
<xsl:value-of select="/*/*/text()"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="$tagName"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$tagValue"/>
</xsl:template>
As an alternative to Veenstra's solution, instead of the xsl:if in the SUBSCRIBER/* template, you can control the iteration in the apply-templates:
<xsl:template match="SUBSCRIBER">
<data>
<xsl:apply-templates select="UnivWalletAcc,
UnivWalletAcc/following-sibling::*" />
</data>
</xsl:template>
With the following XSLT you can loop through all childs of the node SUBSCRIBER:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<!-- Identity template that will loop over all nodes and attributes -->
<xsl:template match="#*|node()">
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*|node()" />
</xsl:template>
<!-- Template to match the root and create new root -->
<xsl:template match="SUBSCRIBER">
<data>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*|node()" />
</data>
</xsl:template>
<!-- Template to loop over all childs of SUBSCRIBER node -->
<xsl:template match="SUBSCRIBER/*">
<!-- This will test if we have seen the UnivWalletAcc node already, if so, output something, otherwise, output nothing -->
<xsl:if test="preceding-sibling::UnivWalletAcc or self::UnivWalletAcc">
<tag>
<tagName><xsl:value-of select="name()" /></tagName>
<tagValue><xsl:value-of select="." /></tagValue>
</tag>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I would like to know how to replace the string with the abbreviations.
My XML looks like below
<concept reltype="CONTAINS" name="Left Ventricular Major Axis Diastolic Dimension, 4-chamber view" type="NUM">
<code meaning="Left Ventricular Major Axis Diastolic Dimension, 4-chamber view" value="18074-5" schema="LN" />
<measurement value="5.7585187646">
<code value="cm" schema="UCUM" />
</measurement>
<content>
<concept reltype="HAS ACQ CONTEXT" name="Image Mode" type="CODE">
<code meaning="Image Mode" value="G-0373" schema="SRT" />
<code meaning="2D mode" value="G-03A2" schema="SRT" />
</concept>
</content>
</concept>
and I am selecting some value from the xml like,
<xsl:value-of select="concept/measurement/code/#value"/>
Now what I want is, I have to replace cm with centimeter. I have so many words like this. I would like to have a xml for abbreviations and replace from them.
I saw one similar example here.
Using a Map in XSL for expanding abbreviations
But it replaces node text, but I have text as attribute. Also, it would be better for me If I can find and replace when I select text using xsl:valueof select instead of having a separate xsl:template. Please help. I am new to xslt.
I have created XSLT v "1.1". For abbreviations I have created XML file as you have mentioned:
Abbreviation.xml:
<Abbreviations>
<Abbreviation>
<Short>cm</Short>
<Full>centimeter</Full>
</Abbreviation>
<Abbreviation>
<Short>m</Short>
<Full>meter</Full>
</Abbreviation>
</Abbreviations>
XSLT:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.1" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output indent="yes" method="xml" />
<xsl:param name="AbbreviationDoc" select="document('Abbreviation.xml')"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:call-template name="Convert">
<xsl:with-param name="present" select="concept/measurement/code/#value"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="Convert">
<xsl:param name="present"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$AbbreviationDoc/Abbreviations/Abbreviation[Short = $present]">
<xsl:value-of select="$AbbreviationDoc/Abbreviations/Abbreviation[Short = $present]/Full"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$present"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
INPUT:
as you have given <xsl:value-of select="concept/measurement/code/#value"/>
OUTPUT:
centimeter
You just need to enhance this Abbreviation.xml to keep short and full value of abbreviation and call 'Convert' template with passing current value to get desired output.
Here a little shorter version:
- with abbreviations in xslt file
- make use of apply-templates with mode to make usage shorter.
But with xslt 1.0 node-set extension is required.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:exsl="http://exslt.org/common"
extension-element-prefixes="exsl">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:variable name="abbreviations_txt">
<abbreviation abbrev="cm" >centimeter</abbreviation>
<abbreviation abbrev="m" >meter</abbreviation>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="abbreviations" select="exsl:node-set($abbreviations_txt)" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="concept/measurement/code/#value" mode="abbrev_to_text"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="* | #*" mode="abbrev_to_text">
<xsl:variable name="abbrev" select="." />
<xsl:variable name="long_text" select="$abbreviations//abbreviation[#abbrev = $abbrev]/text()" />
<xsl:value-of select="$long_text"/>
<xsl:if test="not ($long_text)">
<xsl:value-of select="$abbrev"/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
say I have the following xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/*">
<display>
<xsl:for-each select="logline_t">
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><</xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="./line_1" <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">></xsl:text>
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><</xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="./line_2" <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">></xsl:text>
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><</xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="./line_3" <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">></xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>
</display>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Is there a way to set disable-output-escaping="yes" to all of the xsl:text that appear in the document?
I know there is an option to put
< xsl:output method="text"/ >
and every time something like
& lt;
appears, a < will appear, but the thing is that sometimes in the values of line_1, line_2 or line_3, there is a "$lt;" that I don't want changed (this is, I only need whatever is between to be changed)
This is what I'm trying to accomplish. I have this xml:
<readlog_l>
<logline_t>
<hora>16:01:09</hora>
<texto>Call-ID: 663903<hola>396#127.0.0.1</texto>
</logline_t>
</readlog_l>
And this translation:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/*">
<display>
<screen name="<xsl:value-of select="name(.)"/>">
<xsl:for-each select="logline_t">
< field name="<xsl:for-each select="*"><xsl:value-of select="."/></xsl:for-each>" value="" type="label"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</screen>
</display>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I want this to be the output:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<display>
<screen name="readlog_l">
<field name="16:01:09 Call-ID: 663903<hola>396#127.0.0.1 " value="" type="label">
</screen>
</display>
Note that I need the "<" inside the field name not to be escaped, this is why I can't use output method text.
Also, note that this is an example and the translations are much bigger, so this is why I'm trying to find out how not to write disable-output-escaping for every '<' or '>' I need.
Thanks!
Thanks for clarifying the question. In this case, I'm fairly sure there's no need to disable output escaping. XSLT was designed to accomplish what you're doing:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/*">
<display>
<screen name="{name(.)}">
<xsl:for-each select="logline_t">
<xsl:variable name="nameContent">
<xsl:for-each select="*">
<xsl:if test="position() > 1"><xsl:text> </xsl:text></xsl:if>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>
<field name="{$nameContent}" value="" type="label" />
</xsl:for-each>
</screen>
</display>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I'm a bit unclear on this point:
Note that I need the "<" inside the field name not to be escaped, this is why I can't use output method text.
Which < are you referring to? Is it the < and > around "hola"? If you left those unescaped you would wind up with invalid XML. It also looks like the name attribute in your sample output have a lot of values that aren't in the input XML. Where did those come from?
Given your expected output you don't need d-o-e at all for this. Here is a possible solution that doesn't use d-o-e, and is based on templates rather than for-each:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />
<xsl:template match="/*">
<display>
<screen name="{name(.)}">
<xsl:apply-templates select="logline_t"/>
</screen>
</display>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="logline_t">
<field value="" type="label">
<xsl:attribute name="name">
<xsl:apply-templates select="*" mode="fieldvalue"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</field>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*[last()]" mode="fieldvalue">
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*" mode="fieldvalue">
<xsl:value-of select="." />
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
If you want to set d-o-e on everything, that suggests you are trying to generate markup "by hand". I don't think that's a particularly good idea (in fact, I think it's a lousy idea), but if it's what you want to do, I would suggest using the text output method instead of the xml output method. That way, no escaping of special characters takes place, and therefore it doesn't need to be disabled.
