XSLT How to check if XML Node exists?

Tags:

I have XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="test.xsl"?>
<Data>
  <Records>
    <Record>
     <AddInfo>
      <Info>
      </Info>
     </AddInfo>
    </Record>
  </Records>
</Data>

and XSL file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:template match="Dane">
    <html>
      <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="report.css"></link>
      <body>
        <h2>Table1</h2>
        <table border="1" cellspacing="0">
          <tr>
            <th>XXX</th>
          </tr>
          <xsl:for-each select="Records/Record">
            <tr>
              <td>
                <xsl:value-of select="XXX"/>
              </td>
            </tr>
          </xsl:for-each>
        </table>
        <h2>SecondTable</h2>
        <table border="1" cellspacing="0">
          <tr>
            <th>YYY</th>
            <th>ZZZ</th>
          </tr>
          <xsl:for-each select="Records/Record/AddInfo/Info">
            <tr>
              <td>
                <xsl:value-of select="YYY"/>
              </td>
              <td>
                <xsl:value-of select="ZZZ"/>
              </td>
            </tr>
          </xsl:for-each>
        </table>
      </body>
    </html>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

And I want to make it like this: if node exists, display table with "Info" nodes, and if not, display SOME TEXT.

I've been trying

<xsl:if test="following-sibling::AddInfo">
</xsl:if>

and

<xsl:if test="AddInfo">
</xsl:if>

But it is not working.

I want it like this:

Table1
---------------------
|     |      |      |

(condition: if inside XML will be node, I want to display second table, under Table1)

SecondTable
-------------
|     |     |

How I can do this?

What does node () do in XSLT?

XSLT current() Function Usually the current node and the context node are the same. However, there is one difference. Look at the following XPath expression: "catalog/cd". This expression selects the <catalog> child nodes of the current node, and then it selects the <cd> child nodes of the <catalog> nodes.

How do I check if XSLT is valid?

Try Chrome or Firefox. When ready, 1) enter your XSLT in the form below, 2) select which XML data file you want to use, 3) then click on the [Transform XML] button at the bottom of the form. If errors happen, check to see if your XSLT documents are well formed!

What is text () in XSLT?

XSLT <xsl:text> The <xsl:text> element is used to write literal text to the output. Tip: This element may contain literal text, entity references, and #PCDATA.

Does XSLT use XPath?

XSLT uses XPath to find information in an XML document. XPath is used to navigate through elements and attributes in XML documents. In the transformation process, XSLT uses XPath to define parts of the source document that should match one or more predefined templates.

This outputs Yep if <AddInfo> exists as immediate child of <Record>, and Nope otherwise:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:output method="text"/>
  <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

  <xsl:template match="Data">
    <xsl:for-each select="Records/Record">
      <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="AddInfo">Yep</xsl:when>
        <xsl:otherwise>Nope</xsl:otherwise>
      </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Note that you don't need for-each, you should let a second template match each <Record>:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:output method="text"/>
  <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

  <xsl:template match="Data">
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="Data/Records/Record">
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="AddInfo">Yep</xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>Nope</xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

You could also avoid choose and use two independent if conditions:

  <xsl:template match="Data/Records/Record">
    <xsl:if test="AddInfo">Yep</xsl:if>
    <xsl:if test="not(AddInfo)">Nope</xsl:if>
  </xsl:template>

If you don't want to limit it to immediate children, use .//AddInfo instead.

Consider the following stylesheet:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
  <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

  <xsl:template match="Data">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="Records/Record"/>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="Data/Records/Record">
    <table class="one"></table>
    <xsl:if test="AddInfo">
      <table class="two"></table>
    </xsl:if>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

It outputs

<table class="one"></table>

if there's no <AddInfo> node in <Record>, and

<table class="one"></table>
<table class="two"></table>

otherwise.

You can solve this with neither using if nor choose. XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="test.xsl"?>
<Data>
  <AddInfo>
    <Info>This is ignored</Info>
  </AddInfo>
  <Records>
    <Record>
        <AddInfo>
          <Info>One,</Info>
          <Info>Two,</Info>
          <Info>Three</Info>
        </AddInfo>
    </Record>
    <Record>
      <Info>Ignored as well</Info>
    </Record>
    <Record>
      <Nested>
        <AddInfo>
          <Info>So is this</Info>
        </AddInfo>
      </Nested>
    </Record>
  </Records>
</Data>

XSLT:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
  <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

  <xsl:template match="Data">
    <root>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="Records/Record"/>
    </root>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="Data/Records/Record">
    <xsl:copy>
      <table id="one"></table>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="AddInfo"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="Data/Records/Record/AddInfo">
    <table id="two">
      <xsl:apply-templates select="Info"/>
    </table>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="Data/Records/Record/AddInfo/Info">
    <xsl:value-of select="."/>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Output:

<root>
  <Record>
    <table id="one" />
    <table id="two">One,Two,Three</table>
  </Record>
  <Record>
    <table id="one" />
  </Record>
  <Record>
    <table id="one" />
  </Record>
</root>

To check if node exist in xml this XSLT code works

<xsl:choose>
                <xsl:when test="XMLNodeName">
                  <Cell ss:Index="2" ss:StyleID="s110">
                    <Data ss:Type="String">
                      <xsl:value-of select="NodeOne"/>
                    </Data>
                  </Cell>
                </xsl:when>
                <xsl:otherwise>
                  <Cell`enter code here` ss:Index="2" ss:StyleID="s110">
                    <Data ss:Type="String">
                      <xsl:value-of select="NodeTwo"/>
                    </Data>
                  </Cell>
                </xsl:otherwise>
 </xsl:choose>
