Re: [xsl] Extracting Unique element names and attributes from a XML file

2008-10-28 05:58:48
I need to list out all elements and attribute (unique) in a text file
for mapping with other XML file.

I am able to get all the elements and attributes but I am unable to
achieve the uniqueness. Can any body help on this.

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; 
version="1.0">

If you are stuck with 1.0 then you need to use a key:

<xsl:key name="names" match="*|@*" use="name()"/>

with

<xsl:for-each select="//*|//*/@*">
  <xsl:if test="generate-id(.) = generate-id(key('names', name(.))[1])">
    <xsl:value-of select="local-name()"/>
        
In 2.0 you can use distinct-values() or xsl:for-each-group, but it
always good to learn this technique.
