如何使用注释以 XSLT 样式转换 LINQ to XML 树 (LINQ to XML)

项目

使用批注可帮助进行 XML 树的转换。

有些 XML 文档“以文档为中心兼有混合内容”。对于这样的文档，你不必知道元素的子节点的形状。例如，包含文本的节点可能具有像下面这样的外观：

<text>A phrase with <b>bold</b> and <i>italic</i> text.</text>

任何给定的文本节点都可以具有任意数量的子 <b> 和 <i> 元素。此方法可扩展到很多其他情况：如页面可以包含各种子元素（如规则段落、带项目符号的段落和位图）。表中的单元格可以包含文本，下拉列表或位图。以文档为中心的 XML 的一个主要特性是你不必知道任一特定元素将具有哪些子元素。

如果在转换树中的元素时不必知道有关要转换元素的子级的太多信息，则这种方法（使用注释）就是一种有效的方法。

这种方法摘要如下：

首先，用替换元素批注树中的元素。
然后，循环访问整个树，创建一个新树，并用其批注替换树中的每个元素。本文中的示例在名为 XForm 的函数中实现迭代和创建新树。

具体地说，此方法包括：

执行一个或多个 LINQ to XML 查询，用这些查询返回要从一种形状转换为另一种形状的元素集。对于查询中的每个元素，添加一个新 XElement 对象作为该元素的批注。在转换的新树中会用此新元素替换批注的元素。这是示例中所示的唯一需要编写的代码。
作为注释添加的新元素可以包含新的子节点，它可以形成一个具有任意形状的子树。
有一条特殊规则：如果新元素的子节点位于不同的命名空间，即专门为此建立的命名空间（在本示例中，此命名空间为 http://www.microsoft.com/LinqToXmlTransform/2007），则不会将该子元素复制到新树。而如果命名空间是上面提到的特殊命名空间，并且元素的本地名称为 ApplyTransforms，则会迭代源树中该元素的子节点并将其复制到新树（但批注的子元素本身例外，它们将根据这些规则进行转换）。
这有些类似于 XSL 中的转换规范。用于选择一组节点的查询类似于用于模板的 XPath 表达式。用于创建以注释形式保存的新 XElement 的代码类似于 XSL 中的序列构造函数，ApplyTransforms 元素的功能类似于 XSL 中的 xsl:apply-templates 元素。
采用此方法的优势之一是在用公式表述查询时，你始终是对未修改的源树编写查询。你不必担心对树所做的修改如何影响要编写的查询。

示例：重命名所有段落节点

下面的示例将所有 Paragraph 节点重命名为 para。

XNamespace xf = "http://www.microsoft.com/LinqToXmlTransform/2007";
XName at = xf + "ApplyTransforms";

XElement root = XElement.Parse(@"
<Root>
    <Paragraph>This is a sentence with <b>bold</b> and <i>italic</i> text.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph>More text.</Paragraph>
</Root>");

// replace Paragraph with para
foreach (var el in root.Descendants("Paragraph"))
    el.AddAnnotation(
        new XElement("para",
            // same idea as xsl:apply-templates
            new XElement(xf + "ApplyTransforms")
        )
    );

// The XForm method, shown later in this article, accomplishes the transform
XElement newRoot = XForm(root);

Console.WriteLine(newRoot);

Imports <xmlns:xf="http://www.microsoft.com/LinqToXmlTransform/2007">

Module Module1
    Dim at As XName = GetXmlNamespace(xf) + "ApplyTransforms"

    Sub Main()
        Dim root As XElement = _
            <Root>
                <Paragraph>This is a sentence with <b>bold</b> and <i>italic</i> text.</Paragraph>
                <Paragraph>More text.</Paragraph>
            </Root>

        ' Replace Paragraph with p.
        For Each el In root...<Paragraph>
            ' same idea as xsl:apply-templates
            el.AddAnnotation( _
                <para>
                    <<%= at %>></>
                </para>)
        Next

        ' The XForm function, shown later in this article, accomplishes the transform
        Dim newRoot As XElement = XForm(root)
        Console.WriteLine(newRoot)
    End Sub
End Module

该示例产生下面的输出：

<Root>
  <para>This is a sentence with <b>bold</b> and <i>italic</i> text.</para>
  <para>More text.</para>
</Root>

示例：计算平均值和总和并将它们作为新元素添加到树中

下面的示例计算 Data 元素的平均值和总和，并将它们作为新元素添加到树中。

XNamespace xf = "http://www.microsoft.com/LinqToXmlTransform/2007";
XName at = xf + "ApplyTransforms";

XElement data = new XElement("Root",
    new XElement("Data", 20),
    new XElement("Data", 10),
    new XElement("Data", 3)
);

// while adding annotations, you can query the source tree all you want,
// as the tree isn't mutated while annotating.
var avg = data.Elements("Data").Select(z => (Decimal)z).Average();
data.AddAnnotation(
    new XElement("Root",
        new XElement(xf + "ApplyTransforms"),
        new XElement("Average", $"{avg:F4}"),
        new XElement("Sum",
            data
            .Elements("Data")
            .Select(z => (int)z)
            .Sum()
        )
    )
);

Console.WriteLine("Before Transform");
Console.WriteLine("----------------");
Console.WriteLine(data);
Console.WriteLine();
Console.WriteLine();

// The XForm method, shown later in this article, accomplishes the transform
XElement newData = XForm(data);

Console.WriteLine("After Transform");
Console.WriteLine("----------------");
Console.WriteLine(newData);

Imports <xmlns:xf="http://www.microsoft.com/LinqToXmlTransform/2007">

Module Module1
    Dim at As XName = GetXmlNamespace(xf) + "ApplyTransforms"

    Sub Main()
        Dim data As XElement = _

                <Data>20</Data>

示例：从原始的、已批注的树创建新的、转换后的树

小函数 XForm 可以从原始的、已批注的树创建新的、转换后的树。下面是这个函数的伪代码：

函数采用 XElement 作为参数并返回 XElement。

如果元素具有 XElement 注释，则返回的 XElement 具有以下特征：

新 XElement 的名称是 annotation 元素的名称。

所有属性都从注释复制到新节点。

所有子节点都从注释中复制（例外：特殊节点 xf:ApplyTransforms 会被识别，源元素的子节点被迭代）。如果源子节点不是 XElement，则会将其复制到新树中。如果源子元素是 XElement，则通过递归方式调用此函数对其进行转换。

否则，返回的 XElement 具有以下特征：

新 XElement 的名称是源元素的名称。

所有属性都从源元素复制到目标元素。

所有子节点都从源元素复制。

如果源子节点不是 XElement，则会将其复制到新树中。如果源子元素是 XElement，则通过递归方式调用此函数对其进行转换。

下面是此函数的代码：

// Build a transformed XML tree per the annotations
static XElement XForm(XElement source)
{
    XNamespace xf = "http://www.microsoft.com/LinqToXmlTransform/2007";
    XName at = xf + "ApplyTransforms";

    if (source.Annotation<XElement>() != null)
