Re: Avoid repeating namespace declaration in xml output

Hi Mon,

You can use below xslt 1.0 mappings.

The first one will copy all namespaces (declared) to a newly created root element.

The seconde one will delete the 'old' root element.

=> The result will look like an xml where the namespacesare moved to the root element.

First xslt:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8"/>

<xsl:template match="/">

<Invoice xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

xmlns:ns1="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:Invoice-2" xmlns:ns3="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonBasicComponents-2" xmlns:ns4="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonAggregateComponents-2">

<xsl:copy-of select="." />

</Invoice>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Second xslt:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8"/>

<xsl:template match="@* | node()">

  <xsl:copy>

    <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>

  </xsl:copy>

</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Invoice" >

  <xsl:apply-templates/>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Kind regards,

Lode
