XML mapping editor

The XML mapping editor is a visual tool that you can use to map one or more source XML documents to a single target XML document. After defining an XML mapping, you can generate a deployable transformation document.

You can use the tool to submit the following three types of input files:

  1. An XML file.
  2. An XML schema (XSD).
  3. A Document Type Definition (DTD).

The DTD or XSD contains the type information needed for generating the correct XSL code. An XML document alone does not have the necessary information for the tool to determine if an element is repeatable or non-repeatable, optional or required. The DTD or XSD provides the information needed for the transformation to be successful.

You can add XPath expressions or XSLT templates to your mapping. Mappings can be edited, deleted, or persisted for later use.
