How do I set the "attributename" and "attributevalue" in given nodes of an XML document
|
|
This example demonstrates setting an attribute name and value to a given node in XML document.
In the solution shown below, the attribute name and value are being set for a given node using the "xmlSetNodeAttributes" command. The attribute "id" is added with value being "InsuranceDetails" for the "insurance" node. This is same as adding attribute name and value to a particular tag in HTML document.
Solution:
| # | Command | Target | Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Store the XML in a variable | |||
| 1 | store | <insurance><age>45</age><income>20000</income><zipcode>08817</zipcode><result>You are eligible for a subsidy.</result></insurance> | XML |
| To set the "attributename" and "attributevalue" in given nodes of an XML document | |||
| 2 | xmlSetNodeAttributes | ${XML} || {/insurance, {id,InsuranceDetails}} | UpdatedXML |
Tips, Tricks, Gotchas & Best Practices:
- To add two or more attribute names and values for a given node in XML document, the syntax is "xml_string || {path, {attributename,attributevalue},{attributename,attributevalue}}"
- The XML should be valid and encoded in "UTF-8" format.
- As a best practice, it is advised to define the variable names without any spaces and if you want to differentiate the words, use underscores.
