Hi,

I'm new to use XML/ XSLT. I need general clarifications of using libxml2 / libxslt for my application.

I have a huge XML file, and a snippet of that is as follows,

<defaultValue>value</defaultValue>

<shortDescr>Hostname descr.</shortDescr>

<longDescr>long descr of Hostname</longDescr>

</description>

<dataType>string</dataType>

<operations>set,delete</operations>

</hostName>

1. Here, Is it possible to build a DOM tree using libxml2. (basic question. but still)

2. And is it possible to have "description", "datatype", "operations" as attributes

in the DOM tree, instead of as sub nodes of "hostName".

3. Is there anyway to overlay XML file on an existing xml tree. ie., merge / append different xml files.

4. I have a template XML file and a config XML file. Template xml contains only the xml structure. Config XML will also be similar to that structure with the values for those elements/tags.

Using libxml2 / libxslt, can I build the DOM tree from the Template xml file and fill in the values for every element/tags and put it in the Config xml file??

Please post your comments on this. Would be helpful for me to proceed further.

Thanks

Senthil
