I'm trying to learn XSLT, but it works best with an example. I want to perform a trivial scheme conversion scheme. How to perform this conversion in just one pass (my current solution uses two passes and loses the original client order)?
From:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<sampleroot>
<badcustomer>
<name>Donald</name>
<address>Hong Kong</address>
<age>72</age>
</badcustomer>
<goodcustomer>
<name>Jim</name>
<address>Wales</address>
<age>22</age>
</goodcustomer>
<goodcustomer>
<name>Albert</name>
<address>France</address>
<age>51</age>
</goodcustomer>
</sampleroot>
To:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<records>
<record id="customer">
<name>Donald</name>
<address>Hong Kong</address>
<age>72</age>
<customertype>bad</customertype>
</record>
<record id="customer">
<name>Jim</name>
<address>Wales</address>
<age>22</age>
<customertype>good</customertype>
</record>
<record id="customer">
<name>Albert</name>
<address>France</address>
<age>51</age>
<customertype>good</customertype>
</record>
</records>
I already solved this bad way (I am losing the order of clients, and I think I have to parse the file several times:
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/sampleroot">
<records>
<xsl:for-each select="goodcustomer">
<record id="customer">
<name><xsl:value-of select="name" /></name>
<address><xsl:value-of select="address" /></address>
<age><xsl:value-of select="age" /></age>
<customertype>good</customertype>
</record>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:for-each select="badcustomer">
<record id="customer">
<name><xsl:value-of select="name" /></name>
<address><xsl:value-of select="address" /></address>
<age><xsl:value-of select="age" /></age>
<customertype>bad</customertype>
</record>
</xsl:for-each>
</records>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Please can someone help me with the correct XSLT construct where I need to use only one parsing (only one for each)?
Thank,
Chris
