im still learning for-each-group
what is the best way of grouping something like this using XSL?(by country) i'm trying to use XSL to convert this XML to another XML.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Person>
<Student>
<Info Country="England" Name="Dan" Age="20" Class="C" />
</Student>
<Student>
<Info Country="England" Name="Dan" Age="20" Class="B" />
</Student>
<Student>
<Info Country="England" Name="Sam" Age="20" Class="A" />
</Student>
<Student>
<Info Country="Australia" Name="David" Age="22" Class="D" />
</Student>
<Student>
<Info Country="Australia" Name="David" Age="22" Class="A" />
</Student>
</Person>
If you group by country you would start with e.g.
<xsl:template match="Person">
<xsl:for-each-group select="Student/Info" group-by="@Country">
<country name="{current-grouping-key()}">
</country>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</xsl:template>
Then you have to decide whether you want to further group the Info
elements in each country group, for instance by name:
<xsl:template match="Person">
<xsl:for-each-group select="Student/Info" group-by="@Country">
<country name="{current-grouping-key()}">
<xsl:for-each-group select="current-group()" group-by="@Name">
<student name="{current-grouping-key()}">
<classes>
<xsl:for-each select="current-group()">
<class><xsl:value-of select="@Class"/></class>
</xsl:for-each>
</classes>
</student>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</country>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</xsl:template>
