Rename XML child using XSLT - XSLT 1.0

Question

User1310825703 posted

Hello, does anyone know how I can rename a tag using XSLT?

In my example I copy the tag "NUMBER" from "CONTACT/NUMBER" at the Tag "ADD" to "GRP".
But now I also want the copied Tag "NUMBER" at "GRP" to be called "CONTACT_NUMBER" instead of "NUMBER".

<xsl:template match="GRP">
    <xsl:copy>
<!--copy the data from ADD - CN to the GRP so it can be used in the mapping to set the delivery address from end customer-->
        <xsl:for-each select ="./ADD">
         <xsl:if test="./QUALIFIER='CN'">
          <xsl:copy-of select="PARTY_NAME_1"/>    
          <xsl:copy-of select="STREET_1"/>
          <xsl:copy-of select="CITY"/>
          <xsl:copy-of select="POSTAL_CODE"/>
          <xsl:copy-of select="COUNTRY_CODE"/>
          <xsl:copy-of select="CONTACT/NUMBER"/>
       </xsl:if>
      </xsl:for-each>
    <!--copy all other nodes-->
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

Result:

PARTY_NAME_1
STREET_1
...
CONTACT_NUMBER (instead of "NUMBER")

Thanks, Julian

Hi juls_pro_37,

You could define a node CONTACT_NUMBER in you xslt and copy all the attributes and child nodes  of your original NUMBER node to the newly defined node.

Below is my xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<GRP>
  <ADD>
    <city>city1</city>
    <contact>
      <number attr="aaa">
        <abc name="a">
          abc
        </abc>      
  </number>
    </contact>
  </ADD>


  <ADD>
    <city>city2</city>
    <contact>
      <number attr="bbb">
        <abc name="b">
          def
        </abc>  </number>
    </contact>
  </ADD>

</GRP>

The xslt

<?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="GRP">
    <xsl:copy>
      <!--copy the data from ADD - CN to the GRP so it can be used in the mapping to set the delivery address from end customer-->
      <xsl:for-each select ="./ADD">
       
          <xsl:copy-of select="city"/>
         
        <CONTACT_NUMBER>
     
          <xsl:copy-of select="contact/number/node()|contact/number/@*"/> 
        </CONTACT_NUMBER>
      </xsl:for-each>
      <!--copy all other nodes-->
    
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

The result.

<GRP>
   <city>city1</city>
   <CONTACT_NUMBER attr="aaa">
        <abc name="a">
          abc
        </abc>      
  </CONTACT_NUMBER>
   <city>city2</city>
   <CONTACT_NUMBER attr="bbb">
        <abc name="b">
          def
        </abc>  
   </CONTACT_NUMBER>
</GRP>
