XPath Element Node - XPath

What is XPath Element Node?

There are multiple ways to get and handle elements.

/class/* − select all element under root node.

<xsl:for-each select = "/class/*">

/class/student − select all student element under root node.

<xsl:for-each select = "/class/student">

//student − select all student elements in the document.

<xsl:for-each select = "//student">

Example

In this example, we have created a pattern XML file students.xml and its stylesheet file students.xsl which uses the XPath expressions.

Following is the sample XML used.

students.xml

<?xml version = "1.0"?> <?xml-stylesheet type = "text/xsl" href = "students.xsl"?> <class> <student rollno = "393"> <firstname>Dinkar</firstname> <lastname>Kad</lastname> <nickname>Dinkar</nickname> <marks>85</marks> </student> <student rollno = "493"> <firstname>Vaneet</firstname> <lastname>Gupta</lastname> <nickname>Vinni</nickname> <marks>95</marks> </student> <student rollno = "593"> <firstname>Jasvir</firstname> <lastname>Singh</lastname> <nickname>Jazz</nickname> <marks>90</marks> </student> </class>

students.xsl

<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version = "1.0" xmlns:xsl = "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:template match = "/"> <html> <body> <h3>Details of each Students. Xpath expression = "/class/*"</h3> <table border = "1"> <tr bgcolor = "#9acd32"> <th>Roll No</th> <th>First Name</th> <th>Last Name</th> <th>Nick Name</th> <th>Marks</th> </tr> <xsl:for-each select = "/class/*"> <tr> <td><xsl:value-of select = "@rollno"/></td> <td><xsl:value-of select = "firstname"/></td> <td><xsl:value-of select = "lastname"/></td> <td><xsl:value-of select = "nickname"/></td> <td><xsl:value-of select = "marks"/></td> </tr> </xsl:for-each> </table> <h3>Details of each Students. Xpath expression = "/class/student"</h3> <table border = "1"> <tr bgcolor = "#9acd32"> <th>Roll No</th> <th>First Name</th> <th>Last Name</th> <th>Nick Name</th> <th>Marks</th> </tr> <xsl:for-each select = "/class/student"> <tr> <td><xsl:value-of select = "@rollno"/></td> <td><xsl:value-of select = "firstname"/></td> <td><xsl:value-of select = "lastname"/></td> <td><xsl:value-of select = "nickname"/></td> <td><xsl:value-of select = "marks"/></td> </tr> </xsl:for-each> </table> <h3>Details of each Students.
