This is my xml code.I have written xslt code so far

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:cs="urn:cs" xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt" version="1.0" exclude-result-prefixes="msxsl cs">
   <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes" />
   <msxsl:script language="C#" implements-prefix="cs">
      <msxsl:assembly name="System.Web.Extensions" />
      <msxsl:using namespace="System.Collections.Generic" />
      <msxsl:using namespace="System.Web.Script.Serialization" />
      <![CDATA[public string getXMLFromJson(string jsonString){
      string resp="";
      var serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
      Dictionary<string, object> result = (serializer.DeserializeObject(jsonString) as Dictionary<string, object>);    
      foreach(string key in result.Keys){
        var newKey=key.Replace(" ","_");
        resp+="<"+newKey+">"+result[key]+"</"+newKey+">";
      }  
            return resp;
    }]]>
   </msxsl:script>
   <xsl:template match="@* | node()">
      <xsl:copy>
         <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()" />
      </xsl:copy>
   </xsl:template>
   <xsl:template match="root/dataResponse">
      <xsl:variable name="jstr">
         <xsl:value-of select="." />
      </xsl:variable>
      <dataResponse>
         <xsl:value-of select="cs:getXMLFromJson($jstr)" disable-output-escaping="yes" />
      </dataResponse>
   </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I have not able to loop through nested object resultsInformation and also want loop addressInformation and convert same into xml.My Current output is as shown below.

    <root>
  <dataResponse><status>C</status><responseCode>200</responseCode><description>Success</description><resultsInformation>System.Object[]</resultsInformation></dataResponse>
  <message>Request Completed Successfully</message>
  <statusCode>000</statusCode>
  <status>Success</status>
</root>

Solution

  • If you can use Json.Net it becomes a one-liner:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:cs="urn:cs" xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt" version="1.0" exclude-result-prefixes="msxsl cs">
        <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes" />
        <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
        <msxsl:script language="C#" implements-prefix="cs">
            <msxsl:assembly name="System.Xml.Linq" />
            <msxsl:using namespace="Newtonsoft.Json" />
            <msxsl:assembly name="Newtonsoft.Json" />
            <msxsl:using namespace="System.Xml.Linq" />
            <![CDATA[
            public static XPathNavigator getXMLFromJson(string jsonString)
            {
                var xml = JsonConvert.DeserializeXmlNode(jsonString, "dataResponse");
                return xml.CreateNavigator();
            }
            ]]>
        </msxsl:script>
        <xsl:template match="@* | node()">
            <xsl:copy>
                <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()" />
            </xsl:copy>
        </xsl:template>
        <xsl:template match="root/dataResponse">
            <xsl:copy-of select="cs:getXMLFromJson(.)" />
        </xsl:template>
    </xsl:stylesheet>
    

    Note that I've added a

    <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
    

    to format correctly the resulting xml.

    Without Json.Net it is much more complex (and I'm not sure all the corner-cases are covered):

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:cs="urn:cs" xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt" version="1.0" exclude-result-prefixes="msxsl cs">
        <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes" />
        <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
        <msxsl:script language="C#" implements-prefix="cs">
            <msxsl:assembly name="System.Core" />
            <msxsl:assembly name="System.Xml.Linq" />
            <msxsl:assembly name="System.Web.Extensions" />
            <msxsl:using namespace="System.Collections.Generic" />
            <msxsl:using namespace="System.Linq" />
            <msxsl:using namespace="System.Xml.Linq" />
            <msxsl:using namespace="System.Web.Script.Serialization" />
            <![CDATA[
                public static XPathNavigator XmlFromJson(string root, string json)
                {
                    var jss = new JavaScriptSerializer();
                    var xml = ToXElement(root, (IDictionary<string, object>)jss.DeserializeObject(json));
                    return xml.CreateNavigator();
