Following-sibling of XML attribute

Question

I am writing an xml-to-json converter using xslt. I convert

<raw>
    <id>0</id>
    <type>label</type>
    <title>Test</title>
    <uri>...</uri>
</raw>

to

{ "id" = "0", "type"="label", "title" = "Test", "uri" = "..." }

using an <xsl:for-each> iterating over the child nodes of tag <raw> , and adding commas with <xsl:if test="following-sibling::*">, </xsl:if> .

However, if I want to change the above xml to use attributes instead of child nodes:

<raw id="0" type="label" title="Test" uri="..." />

the following-sibling::* test fails and no commas are added. Is there an equivalent of following-sibling::* that works for attributes? If not, is it possible to do what I intend here?

Answer 1

两种情况都使用此XPath：

<xsl:if test="position() != last()">

Answer 2

The following-sibling axis can be an expensive operation (depending on how many attributes we're talking about). Here's a fairly streamlined solution that accomplishes what you're asking for (and does so without following-sibling or any other complicated axis).

When this XSLT:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
  <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="no" method="text" />
  <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:text>{ </xsl:text>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="raw/@*" />
    <xsl:text> }</xsl:text>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="@*">
    <xsl:if test="position() &gt; 1">, </xsl:if>
    <xsl:value-of
      select="concat('&quot;', name(), '&quot; = &quot;', ., '&quot;')" />
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

...is run against your provided XML:

<raw id="0" type="label" title="Test" uri="..."/>

...the desired result is produced:

{ "id" = "0", "type"="label", "title" = "Test", "uri" = "..." }
