XML is formatted using XSL (XML is collapsed to custom nodes), xmlxsl

 

Introduction

Sometimes we want to see the XML files generated by the system (such as Project files in XML format). If the file structure is simple, our browser looks more convenient, however, the complexity of XML schema makes it a headache. It is a little difficult to write a program separately for presentation. In this case, XSL is used to reflect its value. Of course, XSL is not only used to display, but also to generate another XML or other format file from one format. This article only describes formatting.

Solutions to problems encountered during the process

See XLT formatting XML (2)

<Xsl: template match = "/"> </xsl: template>Xsl: for-each loop display select = "xpath expression" select node conversion (similar to the foreach statement in programming languages ),

In the following example, child elements under pets are selected and the names of child elements are displayed cyclically:

<xsl:for-each select=”/pets/*”><xsl:value-of select=”name()”/></xsl:for-each>

Xsl: if element condition display node (similar to the if statement in programming languages). Note that & lt; and & gt; should be used to replace nodes smaller than numbers.

<xsl:if test=”@weight &lt; 10”><i>its weight is less than 10 km</i></xsl:if>

Xsl: choose multi-branch condition display (similar to the switch statement in programming languages)

<xsl:choose ><xsl:when test=”name() = ‘pig’”><i>this is a pig</i></xsl:when><xsl:otherwise>  <i>this is not a pig</i></xsl:otherwise></xsl:choose>

Xsl: value-of displays the value of the selected node or attribute.

Select sub-node price

<xsl:value-of select=”pets/*/price”/>

Select weight

<xsl:value-of select=”pets/*/@weight”/>

Xsl: attribute: Construct the attributes of an xml node.

Used to add attributes to a node, for example:

<font><xsl:attribute name=”color”><xsl:value-of select=”pets/*/@color”/></xsl:attribute></font>

<Font color = "red"> </font>

Xsl: apply-templates Application Template

If the xml file structure is complex, you can define multiple templates, and then use the <xsl: apply-templates> label Application template, xsl: apply-templates you can specify the select = "xpath" attribute to select the template of the application, or do not specify select to select the template of the current node.

XSL Introduction: IE browser supports direct introduction of XSL files in XML

<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="icoreNested.xsl"?>

 

The Chorme browser cannot directly load local XSL files
