[xsl] Merging two xml documents using xslt
Subject: [xsl] Merging two xml documents using xslt From: Jianyu Lai <jlai@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 1 Feb 2005 08:57:59 -0800 |
Hi all, I'm rather new to XSL. I am struggling trying to come up with an xslt to solve the following problem: First I have the source xml that looks like this: <employee> <name> <first>Bob</first> </name> </employee> I have another xml (updates.xml) that contains information about how to update the above source. Notice that this updates.xml is dynamically generated, and its contents vary. <updates> <elem xpath="/employee/address/country" xvalue="USA" /> <elem xpath="/employee/name/first" xvalue="Bill" /> </updates> I want to write an xslt that reads information from updates.xml, and updates source.xml based on these criteria: - if xpath in updates.xml exist in source.xml, replace source xml node with xvalue; - otherwise, create xml node in source(recursively if necessary), with xvalue defined in updates.xml; Basically here is the result xml that I need: <employee> <name> <first>Bill</first> </name> <address> <country>USA</country> </address> </employee> Is this something that can be done by xslt? If so, could any one shed some light on this? Your help is greatly appreciated. Jianyu Lai
