[XML-DEV Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Existing libraries/mechanisms for alphabetically sorting and formatting
Hi,
I currently have XML files with a flat key-value structure and the elements
are unsorted and without proper formatting, e.g.
<main>
<e.f.g>
<value xml:lang="en">data 2</value>
</e.f.g>
<a.b.c>
<value xml:lang="en">data 1</value>
</a.b.c>
...
</main>
Are there any existing libraries or mechanisms to do the following?
- convert the file structure into a hierarchical tree structure
- alphabetically sorting the individual elements at each level
- indent the individual nodes properly in the resulting XML file
The resulting XML file should look something like the following:
<main>
<a>
<b>
<c>
<value xml:lang="en">data 1</value>
</c>
</b>
</a>
<e>
<f>
<g>
<value xml:lang="en">data 2</value>
</g>
</f>
</e>
...
</main>
I would rather not reinvent the wheel if there are existing
libraries/mechanisms to do this sort of thing. Thanks in advance for any
input.
Peter
