Recursive XML through XSLT to XML
- by Patrick
Essentially, I have XML structured like this:
<A>
<B>
<1>data</1>
<2>data</2>
<C>
<1>data</1>
<2>data</2>
<B>
<1>data</1>
<2>data</2>
<C>
<B>
<1>data</1>
<2>data</2>
</B>
</C>
</B>
<B>
<1>data</1>
<2>data</2>
</B>
</C>
</B>
</A>
I am trying to get the output to look like this:
<A>
<B 1="data" 2="data">
<C 1="data" 2="data">
<B 1="data" 2="data">
<C>
<B 1="data" 2="data" >
</B>
</C>
</B>
<B 1="data" 2="data" >
</B>
</C>
</B>
</A>
I have figured out how to put everything as attributes and start looping through the elements. The issue I am facing is that when trying to get below the first C, nothing happens. Here is my code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt" exclude-result-prefixes="msxsl">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<MenuDataResult>
<B>
<xsl:apply-templates />
</B>
</MenuDataResult>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="B">
<xsl:for-each select="B">
<B ItemID="{B/ItemID/text()}" ItemType="{ItemType/text()}" ItemSubType="{ItemSubType/text()}"
ItemTitle="{ItemTitle/text()}" ItemImage="{ItemImage/text()}" ItemImageOverride="{ItemImageOverride/text()}"
ItemLink="{ItemLink/text()}" ItemTarget="{ItemTarget/text()}>">
<xsl:for-each select="C">
<xsl:apply-templates select="C"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</B>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="C">
<C ID="{ID/text()}" Title="{Title/text()}" Template="{Template/text()}"
Type="{Type/text()}" Link="{Link/text()}" ParentID="{ParentID/text()}"
AncestorID="{AncestorID/text()}" FolderID="{FolderID/text()}" Description="{Description/text()}"
Image="{Image/text()}" ImageOverride="{ImageOverride/text()}">
<xsl:for-each select="B">
<xsl:apply-templates select=".//B"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</C>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
