XSLT <xsl:choose> Element

The XSLT <xsl:choose> element is used to specify a multiple conditional test against the content of nodes with the <xsl:otherwise> and <xsl:when> elements.

  <xsl:choose>    <xsl:when test=”expression”>      … some output …    </xsl:when>    <xsl:otherwise>      … some output ….    </xsl:otherwise>  </xsl:choose>  

Parameter explanation

XSLT <xsl:choose> Element Example

Let’s take an example to create a table of element with its attribute “id” and its child <firstname>, <lastname>, <nickname>, and <salary> by iterating over each employee. It checks the salary and then prints the grade details.

Employee.xml

  <?xml version = “1.0”?>  <?xml-stylesheet type = “text/xsl” href=”../employee.xsl”?>   <class>      <employee id = “001”>        <firstname>Aryan</firstname>         <lastname>Gupta</lastname>         <nickname>Raju</nickname>         <salary>30000</salary>     </employee>      <employee id = “024”>         <firstname>Sara</firstname>         <lastname>Khan</lastname>         <nickname>Zoya</nickname>         <salary>25000</salary>     </employee>      <employee id = “056”>         <firstname>Peter</firstname>         <lastname>Symon</lastname>         <nickname>John</nickname>         <salary>10000</salary>      </employee>   </class>  

Employee.xsl

  <?xml version = “1.0” encoding = “UTF-8”?>   <xsl:stylesheet version = “1.0”      xmlns:xsl = “http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform”>        <xsl:template match = “/”>         <html>            <body>               <h2>Employee</h2>               <table border = “1”>                  <tr bgcolor = “pink”>                     <th>ID</th>                     <th>First Name</th>                     <th>Last Name</th>                     <th>Nick Name</th>                     <th>Salary</th>                     <th>Grade</th>                  </tr>                         <xsl:for-each select = “class/employee”>                            <tr>                        <td><xsl:value-of select = “@id”/></td>                        <td><xsl:value-of select = “firstname”/></td>                        <td><xsl:value-of select = “lastname”/></td>                        <td><xsl:value-of select = “nickname”/></td>                        <td><xsl:value-of select = “salary”/></td>                                 <td>                           <xsl:choose>                              <xsl:when test = “salary > 50000”>                                 High                              </xsl:when>                                         <xsl:when test = “salary > 40000”>                                 Medium                              </xsl:when>                                         <xsl:otherwise>                                 Low                              </xsl:otherwise>                           </xsl:choose>                        </td>                     </tr>                  </xsl:for-each>               </table>            </body>         </html>      </xsl:template>    </xsl:stylesheet>
