I have some XML like this
<a>
<b attr = 'foo'>
<d>text</d>
<x attr1 = 'foo1'>x-text-1</x>
<x>x-text-2</x>
<e attr2 = 'foo2' />
</b>
</a>
I need to split the entire tree rooted at <a>
into two (or more) trees, having the same structure, but only one <x>
per duplicate:
<a>
<b attr = 'foo'>
<d>text</d>
<x attr1 = 'foo1'>x-text-1</x>
<e attr2 = 'foo2' />
</b>
</a>
<a>
<b attr = 'foo'>
<d>text</d>
<x>x-text-2</x>
<e attr2 = 'foo2' />
</b>
</a>
The two new <a>
nodes will be contained in another parent node. Apart from the presence of a/b/x
paths, I don't know anything else about the structure (ie, <a>
or any other node, including <x>
, might contain nodes I don't know of and all nodes might have attributes I don't know of).
I've tried to figure out how to do that in XSL, but I don't really have a concrete idea. I can only think of a for-each over all a/b/x
and then a copy-of that starts from a/
and excludes the x
not equal to the one being considered by the current for-each iteration. But it's just an headache for me to try to code the idea in XSL, any help appreciated.

Try it this way?
XSLT 1.0
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<root>
<xsl:for-each select="//x">
<xsl:apply-templates select="/*">
<xsl:with-param name="x-id" select="generate-id()"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:for-each>
</root>
</xsl:template>
<!-- modified identity tranform -->
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:param name="x-id" />
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()">
<xsl:with-param name="x-id" select="$x-id"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="x">
<xsl:param name="x-id" />
<xsl:if test="generate-id() = $x-id">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Applied to your input example, the result will be:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<a>
<b attr="foo">
<d>text</d>
<x attr1="foo1">x-text-1</x>
<e attr2="foo2"/>
</b>
</a>
<a>
<b attr="foo">
<d>text</d>
<x>x-text-2</x>
<e attr2="foo2"/>
</b>
</a>
</root>
