Hi all,
I?ve tried to find tips on how to improve the performance of my XSL file and
so far did not find something meaningful.
The most time-consuming part in my xml is a big-list of items
<data>
<item name=?abc? timestamp=?2004-10-11T15:49:31?>
<bytes> 1062207488</bytes>
</item>
<item name=?efd? timestamp=?2004-10-13T15:44:31?>
<bytes>23457</bytes>
</item>
....
</data>
I process the timestamp field as follow:
INPUT -> 2004-10-11T15:49:31 OUTPUT -> 2004-Oct-11 15:49:31
I process the bytes field as follow:
INPUT -> 1048576 OUTPUT -> 1,013MB
And display it all in a table.
My xsl file:
<xsl:template match="data">
<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3">
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Bytes</th>
<th>Time Stamp</th>
</tr>
<xsl:for-each select="item">
<tr>
<td nowrap="1">
<xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
</td>
<td>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="bytes">
<xsl:call-template name="format-bytes">
<xsl:with-param name="bytes_cnt"
select="bytes"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</td>
<td nowrap="1">
<xsl:call-template name="format-date">
<xsl:with-param name="date-time" select="@timestamp"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</xsl:template>
<!-- prints-out bytes count -->
<xsl:variable name="Mega" select="1024 * 1024"/>
<xsl:variable name="Giga" select="1024 * $Mega"/>
<xsl:template name="format-bytes">
<xsl:param name="cnt_bytes" select="."/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$ cnt_bytes < 1024"><xsl:value-of
select="format-number($cnt_bytes, '#,##0')"/>Bytes</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$ cnt_bytes < $Mega"><xsl:value-of
select="format-number($cnt_bytes div 1024, '#,###.##')"/>KB</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$ cnt_bytes < $Giga"><xsl:value-of
select="format-number($cnt_bytes div $Mega, '#,###.##')"/>MB</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$ cnt_bytes"><xsl:value-of select="format-number($cnt_bytes
div $Giga, '#,###.##')"/>GB</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise><xsl:text> </xsl:text></xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
<!-- prints-out timestamp in format : dd-mon-yy H:M:S -->
<xsl:template name="format-date">
<xsl:param name="date-time" select="."/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$date-time">
<xsl:value-of select="substring($date-time, 9 ,2)"/>
<xsl:text>-</xsl:text>
<xsl:variable name="month" select="substring($date-time, 6 ,2)"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$month = 1">Jan</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$month = 2">Feb</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$month = 3">Mar</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$month = 4">Apr</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$month = 5">May</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$month = 6">Jun</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$month = 7">Jul</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$month = 8">Aug</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$month = 9">Sen</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$month = 10">Oct</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$month = 11">Nov</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$month = 12">Dec</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
<xsl:text>-</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="substring($date-time, 3 ,2)"/>
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="substring($date-time, 12 ,8)"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
1. How can I improve this code?
2. Should I use the <for-each> or <xsl:template match=?item?> ?
3. In 1/3 of the times the ?bytes? element doesn?t appears in the xml file,
that is why I put a check before calling the "format-bytes" template, do you
think is it best to always call the template and then check inside of the
template if it exists ?
4. Do you think I should use xsl:template or xsl:function to format my
timestamp/bytes ?
Best Regards,
