How to create structured tags in XML schema?

[chandimapa]

Hi there,

I have an XML file with a grouped <employee> tags like,

<employee>
<employeename>John</employeename>
<employeename>Dave</employeename>
</employee>

I want to structure above xml file to be like this

<employee>
<employeename>John</employeename>
</employee>

<employee>
<employeename>Dave</employeename>
</employee>

Can I do that in a XML schema (.xsd file)? If I can, how do I do that?

Thanks,
Chandi

I don't think it is the job of schema file to create anything for the xml file. It is the job of transformation xslt.

Yes, XML schema defines what the structure of an XML document should be. XSL transforms XML documents, so this is what you need.

To do what you want, you'd have to do something like:

<xsl:template match="employee">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="employeename"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="employeename">
  <employee>
    <name>
      <xsl:value-of select="."/>
    </name>
  </employee>
</xsl:template>
