Just to clarify: The problem is that the problem description is
incomplete:
I have to merge multiple XML that would come from
various sources. All the XML coming conform to the
same single Schema. The XML coming from various
sources will be merged and the merged xml will still
conform to that schema
There isn't an API for the concept of "merge" -- because "merge" isn't
well defined. There are generally many ways to merge data to produce a new
document which will conform to the same schema, but the meaning of those
documents will differ.
To take an HTML example, you can merge two tables into one by adding rows,
or adding columns, or combining values... sorted on any of the above or
unsorted, with repeated values kept or eliminated... Or maybe you intended
to put both tables into the output document as they stand, with or without
descriptive text assocated with them...
So you need to specify in detail what you mean by "merge". For that, you
need to do some programming -- either at a low level by hardcoding it, or
at a higher level by using a language such as XSLT, or in a more
specialized transcoding tool.
