Hi all,
XPath 3.1 has functions json-to-xml() and xml-to-json(). I thought of
using these two functions in a XSLT 3.0 stylesheet, to do json to json
transformations. Below is an example of this,
Input JSON file person.txt:
{
"id" : 105,
"medals" : [1, 2, 3],
"fName" : "Mukul",
"lName" : "Gandhi",
"address" : {
"street1" : "xyz",
"street2" : "maddison avenue",
"country" : "C1"
}
}
I wish to transform above JSON document, into another JSON document which
should look like following,
{
"id" : 105,
"medals" : [1, 2, 3],
"name" : "Mukul Gandhi",
"address" : {
"street1" : "xyz",
"street2" : "maddison avenue",
"country" : "C1"
}
}
Everything in second JSON document is same as the first one, except that
"fName" and "lName" fields have been merged into one "name" field. Following
is a XSLT stylesheet I've written for the mentioned requirements,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform
<http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform>"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema
<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema>"
xmlns:fn="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions
<http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions>"
exclude-result-prefixes="xs fn"
version="3.0">
<xsl:variable name="inpJson" select="unparsed-text('person.txt')"
as="xs:string"/>
<xsl:output method="text" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:variable name="inpXml" select="json-to-xml($inpJson)"/>
<xsl:variable name="intermediate">
<xsl:apply-templates select="$inpXml/fn:map" mode="M0"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:copy-of select="xml-to-json($intermediate, map{'indent':
true()})"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="node() | @*" mode="M0">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*" mode="M0"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="fn:string[@key = 'fName']" mode="M0">
<fn:string key="name"><xsl:value-of select="concat(., ' ',
following-sibling::fn:string[1])"/></fn:string>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="fn:string[@key = 'lName']" mode="M0"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The above mentioned stylesheet, produces the wanted results.
Just thought of sharing these facts with members here, for any comments,
suggestions.
