Mapping an XML Element value to array of elements in target XML

Question

I have a requirement where I have an XML File like:

<main>
    <Qnumber>10</Qnumber>
    <Qaddress>hyderabad</Qaddress>
    <Qratio>12:3</Qratio>
    <QGet>Getthevalue</QGet>
</main>

These values are to be mapped to target schema in the following fashion:

We have a tag called which is of 1to many(1-infinite):

<Additional properties>
    <property>
        <Name></Name>
        <Value></Value>
    </property>
</Additional properties>

Now I have to map to this in the following way:

<Additional properties>
    <property>
        <Name>Qnumber</Name>
        <Value>10</Value>
    </property>
    <property>
        <Name>Qaddress</Name>
        <Value>hyderabad</Value>
    </property>
    <property>
        <Name>Qratio</Name>
        <Value>12:3</Value>
    </property>
    <property>
        <Name>QGet</Name>
        <Value>Getthevalue</Value>
    </property>
</Additional properties>

I have to this stuff in the XSLT.Can anyone help on this particular concept. Thanks

Answer 1

First, you cannot have space in the name of your XML element. Thus, I have replaced the space with _ .

Here is a solution:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    <xsl:output method="xml" />

    <xsl:template match="main">
        <Additional_properties>
            <xsl:for-each select="./*">
                <xsl:if test="position() &lt; 5">
                    <property>
                        <xsl:element name="Name">
                            <xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
                        </xsl:element>
                        <xsl:element name="Value">
                            <xsl:value-of select="text()"/>
                        </xsl:element> 
                    </property>
                </xsl:if>
            </xsl:for-each> 
        </Additional_properties>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
