  1. Orion Ifland 2008-05-15 Introduction to XSLT

  2. Introduction to XSLT • Agenda The X* Ecosystem (XSL, XPath, XQuery...)‏ XML Refresh/Terminology XPath: Addresses for XML documents XSLT Basics: template and value-of XSLT Loops: apply-templates and for-each XSLT Decisions: if and choose XSLT Variables: variable and param XSLT Extras: sort, copy-of, document… Why/When XSLT?

  3. The X* Ecosystem • XSL(T): Extensible Stylesheet Language (Transforms)‏ • Like a giant function with a domain of XML and a range of XML, HTML and Text • XSL-FO (Formatting Objects) is a related, graphics/print-oriented language • XPath: XML Path (addressing)‏ • Like a filesystem path in an XML document • Also like RegEx

  4. The X* Ecosystem • XQuery / XPath 2.0 / XSLT 2.0 • Kind of jumbled together • XQuery looks more like a mix of XSLT, SQL, and Javascript (including lots of XPath)‏ • XMLNS (XML Namespaces)‏ • Like programming language namespaces, distinguishes between elements/attributes with the same name • Used by XSLT and many other XML dialects

  5. XML Refresh/Terminology • XML Nodes • Processing instruction: <?pi ... ?> • Element: <element /> or <element></element> • Attribute: <element attribute="value" /> • Comment: <!-- comment --> • Entity: &amp; • Text node (just plain text)

  6. XML Refresh/Terminology • XML Syntax Rules • Escape < > & (turn them into entities &lt; &gt; &amp;) • Every document has exactly one root element • Attribute values are always quoted • Elements are case-sensitive (and are typically lowercase) • You don't have to put an xml processing instruction at the top of your document

  7. XPath: Addresses for XML XPath Expressions /library /library/book /library/book/@name /library/book[@name="The Fourth Civilization"] /library/book[1] //book[2] <library> <book name="C++ How to Program" /> <book name="The Fourth Civilization" /> </library>

  8. XPath: Addresses for XML XPath Expressions /library /library/book /library/book/@name /library/book[@name="The Fourth Civilization"] /library/book[1] //book[2] <library> <book name="C++ How to Program" /> <book name="The Fourth Civilization" /> </library>

  9. XPath: Addresses for XML XPath Expressions /library /library/book /library/book/@name /library/book[@name="The Fourth Civilization"] /library/book[1] //book[2] <library> <book name="C++ How to Program" /> <book name="The Fourth Civilization"/> </library>

  11. XPath: Addresses for XML XPath Expressions /library /library/book /library/book/@name /library/book[@name="The Fourth Civilization"] /library/book[1] //book[2] <library> <book name="C++ How to Program" /> <book name="The Fourth Civilization" /> </library>

  12. XPath: Addresses for XML XPath Expressions /library /library/book /library/book/@name /library/book[@name="The Fourth Civilization"] /library/book[1] //book[2] <library> <book name="C++ How to Program" /> <book name="The Fourth Civilization" /> </library>

  13. XPath: Addresses for XML XPath Node selectors /library/* /library/book[1]/text() /library/node()[1] . <library> <!-- comment --> <book>The Principles of Computer Hardware</book> <book name="The Fourth Civilization" /> </library>

  14. XPath: Addresses for XML XPath Node selectors /library/* /library/book[1]/text() /library/node()[1] . <library> <!-- comment --> <book>ThePrinciples of Computer Hardware</book> <book name="The Fourth Civilization" /> </library>

  15. XPath: Addresses for XML XPath Node selectors /library/* /library/book[1]/text() /library/node()[1] . <library> <!-- comment --> <book>The Principles of Computer Hardware</book> <book name="The Fourth Civilization" /> </library>

  16. XPath: Addresses for XML XPath Node selectors /library/* /library/book[1]/text() /library/node()[1] . <library> <!-- comment --> <book>The Principles of Computer Hardware</book> <book name="The Fourth Civilization" /> </library> Selects the "current" node

  17. XPath: Addresses for XML XPath Axes /library/child::book(or /library/book for short) /descendent-or-self::book(or //book for short)‏ //book[1]/parent::*(or //book[1]/.. for short) //book[2]/preceding-sibling::book //book[1]/attribute::name(or //book[1]/@name for short) <library> <book name="C++ How to Program" /> <book name="The Fourth Civilization" /> </library>

  18. XPath: Addresses for XML XPath Axes /library/child::book(or /library/book for short) /descendent-or-self::book(or //book for short) //book[1]/parent::*(or //book[1]/.. for short) //book[2]/preceding-sibling::book //book[1]/attribute::name(or //book[1]/@name for short) <library> <book name="C++ How to Program" /> <book name="The Fourth Civilization" /> </library>

  19. XPath: Addresses for XML XPath Axes /library/child::book(or /library/book for short) /descendent-or-self::book(or //book for short) //book[1]/parent::*(or //book[1]/.. for short) //book[2]/preceding-sibling::book //book[1]/attribute::name(or //book[1]/@name for short) <library> <book name="C++ How to Program" /> <book name="The Fourth Civilization" /> </library>

  20. XPath: Addresses for XML XPath Axes /library/child::book(or /library/book for short) /descendent-or-self::book(or //book for short) //book[1]/parent::*(or //book[1]/.. for short) //book[2]/preceding-sibling::book //book[1]/attribute::name(or //book[1]/@name for short) <library> <book name="C++ How to Program" /> <book name="The Fourth Civilization" /> </library>

  21. XPath: Addresses for XML XPath Axes /library/child::book(or /library/book for short) /descendent-or-self::book(or //book for short)‏ //book[1]/parent::*(or //book[1]/.. for short) //book[2]/preceding-sibling::book //book[1]/attribute::name(or //book[1]/@name for short) <library> <book name="C++ How to Program" /> <book name="The Fourth Civilization" /> </library>

  22. XPath: Addresses for XML XPath Functions //book[last()] count(//book) name(/*) //book[contains(@name, "C++")] //book[not(contains(@name, "C++"))] <library> <book name="C++ How to Program" /> <book name="The Fourth Civilization" /> </library>

  23. XPath: Addresses for XML XPath Functions //book[last()] count(//book) name(/*) //book[contains(@name, "C++")] //book[not(contains(@name, "C++"))] Returns: 2 <library> <book name="C++ How to Program" /> <book name="The Fourth Civilization" /> </library>

  24. XPath: Addresses for XML XPath Functions //book[last()] count(//book) name(/*) //book[contains(@name, "C++")] //book[not(contains(@name, "C++"))] Returns: "library" <library> <book name="C++ How to Program" /> <book name="The Fourth Civilization" /> </library>

  25. XPath: Addresses for XML XPath Functions //book[last()] count(//book) name(/*) //book[contains(@name, "C++")] //book[not(contains(@name, "C++"))] <library> <book name="C++ How to Program" /> <book name="The Fourth Civilization" /> </library>

  26. XPath: Addresses for XML XPath Functions //book[last()] count(//book) name(/*) //book[contains(@name, "C++")] //book[not(contains(@name, "C++"))] <library> <book name="C++ How to Program" /> <book name="The Fourth Civilization" /> </library>

  27. XPath: Addresses for XML Other Useful XPath Functions position() – provides the position in a list (nice for numbering a sequence of nodes) sum(xpath) – takes a sequence of nodes and adds up their numerical values – see also avg(), min(), max() concat(string, string, …) – exactly what you think string-length(string) – returns the number of characters substring(string, start[, length]) – the first char is at 1 translate(source-string, find-string, replace-string) – looks for individual chars and replaces themExample: translate("ABCD", "BD", "bd")  "AbCd"

  28. XPath: Addresses for XML XPath Operators //book[last() or contains(@name, "C++")] //book[string-length(@name) > 5] //book[1] | //book[2] Other operators: and, =, >, <=, >=, !=, +, -, *, div, mod Don't forget to escape < >! <library> <book name="C++ How to Program" /> <book name="The Fourth Civilization" /> </library>

  29. XPath: Addresses for XML XPath Operators //book[last() or contains(@name, "C++")] //book[string-length(@name) > 5] //book[1] | //book[2] Other operators: and, =, >, <=, >=, !=, +, -, *, div, mod Don't forget to escape < >! <library> <book name="C++ How to Program" /> <book name="The Fourth Civilization" /> </library>
