XSLT <xsl:value-of> Element Example

Let’s take an example to see the usage of XSLT <xsl:value-of> element with its attribute “id” and its child <firstname>, <lastname>, <nickname>, and <salary>.

Employee.xml

  <?xml version = “1.0”?>  <?xml-stylesheet type = “text/xsl” href=”../employee.xsl”?>   <class>      <employee id = “001”>        <firstname>Aryan</firstname>         <lastname>Gupta</lastname>         <nickname>Raju</nickname>         <salary>30000</salary>     </employee>      <employee id = “024”>         <firstname>Sara</firstname>         <lastname>Khan</lastname>         <nickname>Zoya</nickname>         <salary>25000</salary>     </employee>      <employee id = “056”>         <firstname>Peter</firstname>         <lastname>Symon</lastname>         <nickname>John</nickname>         <salary>10000</salary>      </employee>   </class>  

Employee.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>               <h2>Employee</h2>               <table border = “1”>                  <tr bgcolor = “purple”>                     <th>ID                     <th>First Name</th>                     <th>Last Name</th>                     <th>Nick Name</th>                     <th>Salary</th>                  </tr>                  <!– for-each processing instruction                  Looks for each element matching the XPath expression                  –>                  <xsl:for-each select=”class/employee”>                     <tr>                        <td>                           <!– value-of processing instruction                           process the value of the element matching the XPath expression                           –>                          <xsl:value-of select = “@id”/>                        </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 = “salary”/></td>                       </tr>                  </xsl:for-each>               </table>           </body>        </html>      </xsl:template>    </xsl:stylesheet>
