How would I convert and rename the attribute "key" value to a corresponding element using xslt?

<record>
<properties>
<property key="Category">Male</property>
<property key="Product">Shoe</property>
<property key="Color">Green</property>
<property key="Region">Europe</property>
<property key="Date">11/11/2008</property>
<property key="ProductType">Running</property>
</properties>
</record>

to

<record>
<properties>
<cat>Male</cat>
<prd>Shoe</prd>
<col>Green</col>
<rgn>Europe</rgn>
<dat>11/11/2008</dat>
<pdt>Running</pdt>
</properties>
</record>

thanks

There are many possible solutions, one way to do it is like below

Code: Select all


<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">

 <xsl:template match="/">

  <record>

   <properties>

    <xsl:apply-templates/>

   </properties>   

  </record>

 </xsl:template>

 

 <xsl:template match="property[@key='Category']">

  <cat><xsl:value-of select="."/></cat>

 </xsl:template>

 

 <xsl:template match="property[@key='Product']">

  <prd><xsl:value-of select="."/></prd>

 </xsl:template>

 

 <xsl:template match="property[@key='Color']">

  <col><xsl:value-of select="."/></col>

 </xsl:template>

 

 <xsl:template match="property[@key='Region']">

  <rgn><xsl:value-of select="."/></rgn>

 </xsl:template>

 

 <xsl:template match="property[@key='Date']">

  <dat><xsl:value-of select="."/></dat>

 </xsl:template>

 

 <xsl:template match="property[@key='ProductType']">

  <pdt><xsl:value-of select="."/></pdt>

 </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
