XML to CSV conversion - xslt

Question

I have a scenario where I need to convert the input XML to a CSV file. The output should have values for every attribute with their respective XPATH.
For example: If my input is
<School>
<Class>
<Student name="" class="" rollno="" />
<Teacher name="" qualification="" Employeeno="" />
</Class>
</School>
The expected output would be:
School/Class/Student/name, School/Class/Student/class, School/Class/Student/rollno,
School/Class/Teacher/name, School/Class/Teacher/qualification, School/Class/Teacher/Employeeno

Answer 1

An example does not always embody a rule. Assuming you want a row for each element that has any attributes, no matter where in the document it is, and a column for each attribute of an element, try:
Edit:
This is an improved version, corrected to work properly with nested elements.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="text" encoding="UTF-8"/>
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:param name="path" />
<xsl:variable name="newpath" select="concat($path, '/', name())" />
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*">
<xsl:with-param name="path" select="$newpath"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
<xsl:if test="#*">
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:apply-templates select="*">
<xsl:with-param name="path" select="$newpath"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="#*">
<xsl:param name="path" />
<xsl:value-of select="substring(concat($path, '/', name()), 2)"/>
<xsl:if test="position()!=last()">
<xsl:text>, </xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
When applied to the following test input:
<Root>
<Parent parent="1" parent2="1b">
<Son son="11" son2="11b"/>
<Daughter daughter="12" daughter2="12b">
<Grandson grandson="121" grandson2="121b"/>
<Granddaughter granddaughter="122" granddaughter2="122b"/>
</Daughter>
<Sibling/>
</Parent>
</Root>
the result is:
Root/Parent/parent, Root/Parent/parent2
Root/Parent/Son/son, Root/Parent/Son/son2
Root/Parent/Daughter/daughter, Root/Parent/Daughter/daughter2
Root/Parent/Daughter/Grandson/grandson, Root/Parent/Daughter/Grandson/grandson2
Root/Parent/Daughter/Granddaughter/granddaughter, Root/Parent/Daughter/Granddaughter/granddaughter2
Note that the number of columns in each row can vary - this is often unacceptable in a CSV document.
