xslt flatten any xml file
Given the following XML as an example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Message>
<MessageID>1</MessageID>
<MessageType>0</MessageType>
<UniqueRef>12</UniqueRef>
<CreatedBy>fooo.bar</CreatedBy>
<Product>
<Name>Food Mixer</Name>
<Origin>London</Origin>
<CreatedBy>foo.bar</CreatedBy>
</Product>
<ProductExtendedProperties>
<CreateDate>23/10/2010</CreateDate>
<CreatedBy>foo.bar</CreatedBy>
</ProductExtendedProperties>
<Items>
<Item>
<Title>Food Mixer</Title>
<CreatedBy>my.customer</CreatedBy>
</Item>
</Items>
Is it possible to create an xslt which is generic in that it will take whatever element is thrown at it, nested or not and provide nicely formatted html.
Something like this:
<html>
<body>
<fieldset>
<legend>Message</legend>
<div>
<p>MessageID: 1</p>
<p>MessageType: 0</p>
<p>UniqueRef: 0</p>
<p>CreatedBy: foo.bar</p>
<div>
<p>Product:</p>
<ul>

<li>Origin: London</li>
<li>CreatedBy: foo.bar</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<p>ProductExtendedProperties:</p>
<ul>
<li>CreateDate: 23/10/2010</li>
<li>CreatedBy: foo.bar</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<p>
Items
</p>
<div>
<p>Item 1:</p>
<ul>
<li>Title: Food Mixer</li>
<li>CreatedBy: my.customer</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</fieldset>
</body>
it doesnt have to be as complex as that, just something which formats into nested list elements all names and values of elements really.
I have no clue where to start with the xslt
Any help much appreciated thanks
I think people will be a lot more able to help you if you do get a start, and then explain specifically where you need help getting from your attempted solution to what you need.
E.g. you could start with a template that applies templates to "*" (any child element), and another template that matches "*" and uses local-name() to output the name of the current element (along with desired markup).
One way:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:output method="xml"/>
<xsl:template match="/*" priority="1">
<html>
<body>
<fieldset>
<legend>
<xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
</legend>
<div>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</div>
</fieldset>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/*/*[not(*)]" priority="1">
<p>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</p>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*[*]">
<div>
<p>
<xsl:value-of select="concat(name(),':')"/>
</p>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</div>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*[not(*)][position()!=1]"/>
<xsl:template match="*[not(*)][1]">
<ul>
<xsl:apply-templates select="../*" mode="makeLi"/>
</ul>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*" mode="makeLi">
<li>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</li>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="text()">
<xsl:value-of select="concat(name(..),': ',.)"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Output:
<html>
<body>
<fieldset>
<legend>Message</legend>
<div>
<p>MessageID: 1</p>
<p>MessageType: 0</p>
<p>UniqueRef: 12</p>
<p>CreatedBy: fooo.bar</p>
<div>
<p>Product:</p>
<ul>
<li>Name: Food Mixer</li>
<li>Origin: London</li>
<li>CreatedBy: foo.bar</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<p>ProductExtendedProperties:</p>
<ul>
<li>CreateDate: 23/10/2010</li>
<li>CreatedBy: foo.bar</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<p>Items:</p>
<div>
<p>Item:</p>
<ul>
<li>Title: Food Mixer</li>
<li>CreatedBy: my.customer</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</fieldset>
</body>
</html>
