I have this XML with players
and citizens
sections. Each section has multiple person
tags.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<test>
<players>
<person>
<name>joe</name>
<age>20</age>
</person>
<person>
<name>sam</name>
<age>23</age>
</person>
</players>
<citizens>
<person>
<name>joe</name>
<city>ny</city>
</person>
<person>
<name>sam</name>
<city>london</city>
</person>
</citizens>
</test>
Now I want to transform this so that person
tags of, players
and citizens
sections are merged together based on name
tag.
This is the output I need.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<test>
<players>
<person>
<name>joe</name>
<age>20</age>
<city>ny</city>
</person>
<person>
<name>sam</name>
<age>23</age>
<city>london</city>
</person>
</players>
</test>
I want to do an XSLT transformation for this. I tried lots of stuff without luck. Appreciate some help for this.
Update: I tried this.
<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:variable name="citizens" select="/test/citizens"/>
<xsl:template match="/test/players">
<players>
<xsl:apply-templates select="person"/>
</players>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="person">
<xsl:variable name="data1" select="."/>
<xsl:variable name="data2" select="/test/citizens/person[name=current()/name]/."/>
<person>
<xsl:copy-of select="$data1/*"/>
<xsl:for-each select="$data2/*">
<xsl:variable name="element2" select="name(.)"/>
<xsl:if test="count($data1/*[name()=$element2])=0">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</person>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
It's almost correct. I just want to get rid of last 2 person
tags. Please guide me.
<players>
<person>
<name>joe</name>
<age>20</age>
<city>ny</city>
</person>
<person>
<name>sam</name>
<age>23</age>
<city>london</city>
</person>
</players>
<person>
<name>joe</name>
<city>ny</city>
</person>
<person>
<name>sam</name>
<city>london</city>
</person>

Here's one way you could look at it:
XSLT 2.0
<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"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:key name="person-by-name" match="person" use="name" />
<!-- identity transform -->
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/test">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="players"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="person">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
<xsl:copy-of select="key('person-by-name', name, ../../citizens)/city "/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Here's another:
XSLT 2.0
<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"/>
<xsl:template match="/test">
<xsl:copy>
<players>
<xsl:for-each-group select="*/person" group-by="name">
<person>
<xsl:copy-of select="name"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="current-group()/*[not(self::name)]"/>
</person>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</players>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
