XSLT convert some elements into attribute and sorted by attribute value [duplicate] - xslt

I'm trying to transform this xml. However I'm having formatting issues. Could someone please guide me to solve this problem. Thanks in advance
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<XML>
<Attributes>
<Attribute>
<id>5</id>
<Name>Buyer ID</Name>
<Type>common</Type>
<Value>Lee</Value>
</Attribute>
<Attribute>
<id>331</id>
<Name>Enviornment</Name>
<Type>common</Type>
<Value>Development</Value>
</Attribute>
<Attribute>
<id>79</id>
<Name>Retail</Name>
<Type>common</Type>
<Value></Value>
</Attribute>
<Attribute>
<id>402</id>
<Name>Gender</Name>
<Type>category</Type>
<Value>Men</Value>
</Attribute>
<Attribute>
<id>433</id>
<Name>HeelHeight</Name>
<Type>category</Type>
<Value></Value>
</Attribute>

<id>41</id>
<Name>PlusShip</Name>
<Type>common</Type>
<Value>False</Value>
<Path></Path>
</Attribute>
</Attributes>
</XML>
Into the following XML. Could someone please give me some tips in how to transform this xml based on the value of Attributes/Attribute/Type
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Data Schema="XML A">
<Attributes type="Common">
<Attr id="" name="Buyer ID" value="Lee" />
<Attr id="" name="Enviornment" value="Development" />
<Attr id="" name="Retail" value="" />
<Attr id="" name="PlusShip" value="False" />
</Attributes>
<Attributes type="Category">
<Attr id="" name="Gender" value="Men" />
<Attr id="" name="HeelHeight" value="" />
</Attributes>

The following stylesheet produces the desired result:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<Data Schema="XML A">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</Data>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Attribute[not(Type=following::Type)]">
<Attributes type="{Type}">
<xsl:for-each select="../Attribute[Type=current()/Type]">
<Attr id="{id}" name="{Name}" value="{Value}"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</Attributes>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Attribute"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Output on your source document:
<Data Schema="XML A">
<Attributes type="category">
<Attr id="402" name="Gender" value="Men"/>
<Attr id="433" name="HeelHeight" value=""/>
</Attributes>
<Attributes type="common">
<Attr id="5" name="Buyer ID" value="Lee"/>
<Attr id="331" name="Enviornment" value="Development"/>
<Attr id="79" name="Retail" value=""/>
<Attr id="41" name="PlusShip" value="False"/>
</Attributes>
</Data>
Edit: OK, let's get rid of that ugly for-each:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<Data Schema="XML A">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</Data>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Attribute[not(Type=following::Type)]">
<Attributes type="{Type}">
<xsl:apply-templates
select="../Attribute[Type=current()/Type]" mode="out"/>
</Attributes>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Attribute" mode="out">
<Attr id="{id}" name="{Name}" value="{Value}"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Attribute"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I feel much better.
Edit #2: Using the Muenchian Method (with sorting):
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:key name="type" match="Attribute" use="Type"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<Data Schema="XML A">
<xsl:apply-templates select="XML/Attributes/Attribute">
<xsl:sort select="Type" order="descending"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</Data>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template
match="Attribute[generate-id()=generate-id(key('type', Type)[1])]">
<Attributes type="{Type}">
<xsl:apply-templates
select="../Attribute[Type=current()/Type]" mode="out"/>
</Attributes>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Attribute" mode="out">
<Attr id="{id}" name="{Name}" value="{Value}"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Attribute"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Produces the following (ordered) output:
<Data Schema="XML A">
<Attributes type="common">
<Attr id="5" name="Buyer ID" value="Lee"/>
<Attr id="331" name="Enviornment" value="Development"/>
<Attr id="79" name="Retail" value=""/>
<Attr id="41" name="PlusShip" value="False"/>
</Attributes>
<Attributes type="category">
<Attr id="402" name="Gender" value="Men"/>
<Attr id="433" name="HeelHeight" value=""/>
</Attributes>
</Data>

XSLT grouping every 4 adjacent elements

I have a xml like below.
Source XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>
<XML>
<Attributes>
<Attribute>
<Name>Collection</Name>
<Value />
</Attribute>
<Attribute>
<Name>A</Name>
<Value>Testing</Value>
</Attribute>
<Attribute>
<Name>B</Name>
<Value>Blank</Value>
</Attribute>
<Attribute>
<Name>C</Name>
<Value>11</Value>
</Attribute>
<Attribute>
<Name>D</Name>
<Value>NA</Value>
</Attribute>
<Attribute>
<Name>A</Name>
<Value>Testing1</Value>
</Attribute>
<Attribute>
<Name>B</Name>
<Value>Red</Value>
</Attribute>
<Attribute>
<Name>C</Name>
<Value>12</Value>
</Attribute>
<Attribute>
<Name>D</Name>
<Value>NAT</Value>
</Attribute>
</Attributes>
</XML>
From the above xml how I can I do this. I only want to group them in groups of 4. So first 4 (in the source xml) element where /attribute/Name='A' - /attribute/Name='D' will be in the first group. and next 4 where /attribute/Name='A' - /attribute/Name='D' will be in the second group .... like below
Thanks in Advance
Output
<Collection name="Collection" >
<ComplexAttr>
<Attr name="A" value="Testing" />
<Attr name="B" value="Blank" />
<Attr name="C" value="11" />
<Attr name="D" value="NA" />
</ComplexAttr>
<ComplexAttr >
<Attr name="A" value="Testing1" />
<Attr name="B" value="Red" />
<Attr name="C" value="12" />
<Attr name="D" value="NA" />
</ComplexAttr>
</Collection>
This is a FAQ. See my link in the comments to your question. Here is a stylesheet tailored to your input and desired output:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<!-- the number of items to include in each group -->
<xsl:variable name="group" select="4" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<Collection name="Collection">
<xsl:apply-templates
select="XML/Attributes/Attribute[not(Name='Collection')]
[position() mod $group = 1]" />
</Collection>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Attribute" mode="inner">
<Attr name="{Name}" value="{Value}" />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Attribute">
<ComplexAttr>
<xsl:apply-templates
select=".|following-sibling::Attribute[position() < $group]"
mode="inner" />
</ComplexAttr>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Produces:
<Collection name="Collection">
<ComplexAttr>
<Attr name="A" value="Testing" />
<Attr name="B" value="Blank" />
<Attr name="C" value="11" />
<Attr name="D" value="NA" />
</ComplexAttr>
<ComplexAttr>
<Attr name="A" value="Testing1" />
<Attr name="B" value="Red" />
<Attr name="C" value="12" />
<Attr name="D" value="NAT" />
</ComplexAttr>
</Collection>

XSLT grouping recursive problem

guys, recursion with grouping is not working. I am using XSLT 1.0.
I need some help to figure this out. Thanks in Advance.
Background:
I have 3 different Types (common, category, & complex) in the xml. My goal is to.
1 - Group xml nodes based on Types.
2 - Create a sub-group for complex under Type=common.
3 - For Type=complex create a number of collections depending upon the source xml. In each collection it should list only 4 elements where Name='A' or 'B' or 'C' or 'D'.
This is where I'm having the problem. Grouping and sub-grouping is working fine. However, when I try to create a collection using recursion then it is not giving me the intending output. For reference please see the expected out xml sample.

</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Attribute">

XSLT check and create child node with default values if souurce is missing

I need to validate the source XML and look for Attributes/Attribute/Name. If Name = 'ComplexAttr' then make it child node of Data/Attributes(where #Type='common')/Collection/ComplexAttr. And if it is not present then create a node with default values. However, I have to validate all nodes with #Type='ComplexAttr' so it should be as dynamic as possible.
In the source XML you can see that I have only 1 node where #Type='ComplexAttr'. However, in the Transformed sample XML I have two nodes for <Attr>. This is I want to do with the following XSLT. Please let me know how I can do this.
Thanks in advance.

XSLT combine node when attribute's value are different

During transformation, who I can combine one node into another. for example, when Attributes/Attribute/Type=ComplexAttr then it should go under Attributes/Attribute/Type=Common only.

If you want to group Attribute by Type with 'common' and 'ComplexAttr' in the same group, then you need to change the key value expression into something like:
<xsl:key name="type"
match="Attribute"
use="concat(
Type[. != 'ComplexAttr'],
substring(
'common',
1 div (Type = 'ComplexAttr')
)
)"/>
<xsl:template match="Attribute[
generate-id()
= generate-id(
key('type',
concat(
Type[. != 'ComplexAttr'],
substring(
'common',
1 div (Type = 'ComplexAttr')
)
)

XSLT unable to group/sort nodes based on value

I'm trying to transform this xml. However I'm having formatting issues. Could someone please guide me to solve this problem. Thanks in advance
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<XML>
<Attributes>
<Attribute>
<id>5</id>
<Name>Buyer ID</Name>
<Type>common</Type>
<Value>Lee</Value>
</Attribute>
<Attribute>
<id>331</id>
<Name>Enviornment</Name>
<Type>common</Type>
<Value>Development</Value>
</Attribute>
<Attribute>
<id>79</id>
<Name>Retail</Name>
<Type>common</Type>
<Value></Value>
</Attribute>
<Attribute>
<id>402</id>
<Name>Gender</Name>
<Type>category</Type>
<Value>Men</Value>
</Attribute>
<Attribute>
<id>433</id>
<Name>HeelHeight</Name>
<Type>category</Type>
<Value></Value>
</Attribute>
<Attribute>
<id>41</id>
<Name>PlusShip</Name>
<Type>common</Type>
<Value>False</Value>
<Path></Path>
</Attribute>
</Attributes>
</XML>
Into the following XML. Could someone please give me some tips in how to transform this xml based on the value of Attributes/Attribute/Type
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Data Schema="XML A">
<Attributes type="Common">
<Attr id="" name="Buyer ID" value="Lee" />
<Attr id="" name="Enviornment" value="Development" />
<Attr id="" name="Retail" value="" />
<Attr id="" name="PlusShip" value="False" />
</Attributes>
<Attributes type="Category">
<Attr id="" name="Gender" value="Men" />
<Attr id="" name="HeelHeight" value="" />
</Attributes>
The following stylesheet produces the desired result:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<Data Schema="XML A">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</Data>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Attribute[not(Type=following::Type)]">
<Attributes type="{Type}">
<xsl:for-each select="../Attribute[Type=current()/Type]">
<Attr id="{id}" name="{Name}" value="{Value}"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</Attributes>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Attribute"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Output on your source document:
<Data Schema="XML A">
<Attributes type="category">
<Attr id="402" name="Gender" value="Men"/>
<Attr id="433" name="HeelHeight" value=""/>
</Attributes>
<Attributes type="common">
<Attr id="5" name="Buyer ID" value="Lee"/>
<Attr id="331" name="Enviornment" value="Development"/>
<Attr id="79" name="Retail" value=""/>
<Attr id="41" name="PlusShip" value="False"/>
</Attributes>
</Data>
Edit: OK, let's get rid of that ugly for-each:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<Data Schema="XML A">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</Data>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Attribute[not(Type=following::Type)]">
<Attributes type="{Type}">
<xsl:apply-templates
select="../Attribute[Type=current()/Type]" mode="out"/>
</Attributes>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Attribute" mode="out">
<Attr id="{id}" name="{Name}" value="{Value}"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Attribute"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I feel much better.
Edit #2: Using the Muenchian Method (with sorting):
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:key name="type" match="Attribute" use="Type"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<Data Schema="XML A">
<xsl:apply-templates select="XML/Attributes/Attribute">
<xsl:sort select="Type" order="descending"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</Data>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template
match="Attribute[generate-id()=generate-id(key('type', Type)[1])]">
<Attributes type="{Type}">
<xsl:apply-templates
select="../Attribute[Type=current()/Type]" mode="out"/>
</Attributes>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Attribute" mode="out">
<Attr id="{id}" name="{Name}" value="{Value}"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Attribute"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Produces the following (ordered) output:
<Data Schema="XML A">
<Attributes type="common">
<Attr id="5" name="Buyer ID" value="Lee"/>
<Attr id="331" name="Enviornment" value="Development"/>
<Attr id="79" name="Retail" value=""/>
<Attr id="41" name="PlusShip" value="False"/>
</Attributes>
<Attributes type="category">
<Attr id="402" name="Gender" value="Men"/>
<Attr id="433" name="HeelHeight" value=""/>
</Attributes>
</Data>
