<Students>
  <Student Name="April" Gender="F" DateOfBirth="1989-01-02" />
  <Student Name="Bob" Gender="M"  DateOfBirth="1990-03-04" />
  <Student Name="Chad" Gender="M"  DateOfBirth="1991-05-06" />
  <Student Name="Dave" Gender="M"  DateOfBirth="1992-07-08">
    <Pet Type="dog" Name="Rover" />
  </Student>
  <Student DateOfBirth="1993-09-10" Gender="F" Name="&#x00C9;mily" />
</Students>

AWK

The following code extracts the value of the property "Name" from every Student tag. It does not handle the &#CODE;; this can be left to others: a way to cope with it fastly, is to output a very simple HTML structure, so that the interpretation is left to an HTML reader/browser.

function parse_buf()
{
    if ( match(buffer, /<Student[ \t]+[^>]*Name[ \t]*=[ \t]*"([^"]*)"/, mt) != 0 ) {
      students[mt[1]] = 1
    }
    buffer = ""
}

BEGIN {
  FS=""
  mode = 0
  buffer = ""
  li = 1
}

mode==1 {
  for(i=1; i <= NF; i++) {
    buffer = buffer $i
    if ( $i == ">" ) {
      mode = 0;
      break;
    }
  }
  if ( mode == 0 ) {
    li = i
  } else {
    li = 1
  }
  # let us process the buffer if "complete"
  if ( mode == 0 ) {
    parse_buf()
  }
}

mode==0 {
  for(i=li; i <= NF; i++) {
    if ( $i == "<" ) {
      mode = 1
      break;
    }
  }
  for(j=i; i <= NF; i++) {
    buffer = buffer $i
    if ( $i == ">" ) {
      mode = 0
      parse_buf()
    }
  }

  }

Using getXML.awk written by Jan Weber, one could do this:

Works with: gawk

or

Works with: nawk
awk -f getXML.awk sample.xml | awk '
    $1 == "TAG"                 {tag = $2}
    tag == "Student" && /Name=/ {print substr($0, index($0, "=") + 1)}
'

Using xmlparser.awk by Steve Coile, one can do this:

Scripts in AWK are often one-liners. This one-liner implementation searches for Student tags and then displays the contents of their Name attribute. The following line is meant to be typed in on the command line of a Unix shell or an MS-DOS command window.

gawk -lxml 'XMLSTARTELEM == "Student" {print XMLATTR["Name"]}' rosetta.xml

Bracmat

The get function can read markup into a native datastructure, which can be analysed using pattern matching. The read datastructure is a flat list of tags and text fragments. For proper nesting of elements extra code would have to be written, but in this simple task that is not necessary. On the downside, the pattern must both handle empty tags (the (? (Name.?name) ?, pattern) and open tags (the ? (Name.?name) ? pattern). Reading input from a file:

( :?names
& (   get$("students.xml",X,ML)
    :   ?
        ( ( Student
          .   (? (Name.?name) ?,)
            | ? (Name.?name) ?
          )
        & !names !name:?names
        & ~
        )
        ?
  | !names
  )
)

Alternative solution, reading input from memory:

( :?names
& (     get
      $ ( "<Students>
  <Student Name=\"April\" Gender=\"F\" DateOfBirth=\"1989-01-02\" />
  <Student Name=\"Bob\" Gender=\"M\"  DateOfBirth=\"1990-03-04\" />
  <Student Name=\"Chad\" Gender=\"M\"  DateOfBirth=\"1991-05-06\" />
  <Student Name=\"Dave\" Gender=\"M\"  DateOfBirth=\"1992-07-08\">
    <Pet Type=\"dog\" Name=\"Rover\" />
  </Student>
  <Student DateOfBirth=\"1993-09-10\" Gender=\"F\" Name=\"&#x00C9;mily\" />
</Students>"
        , MEM
        , X
        , ML
        )
    :   ?
        ( ( Student
          .   (? (Name.?name) ?,)
            | ? (Name.?name) ?

Clojure

Uses: java.io (Components:{{#foreach: component$n$|{{{component$n$}}}Property "Uses Library" (as page type) with input value "Library/java.io/{{{component$n$}}}" contains invalid characters or is incomplete and therefore can cause unexpected results during a query or annotation process., }})

This version uses the standard Clojure function xml-seq'

(import '(java.io ByteArrayInputStream))
(use 'clojure.xml) ; defines 'parse

(def xml-text "<Students>
  <Student Name='April' Gender='F' DateOfBirth='1989-01-02' />
  <Student Name='Bob' Gender='M'  DateOfBirth='1990-03-04' />
  <Student Name='Chad' Gender='M'  DateOfBirth='1991-05-06' />
  <Student Name='Dave' Gender='M'  DateOfBirth='1992-07-08'>
    <Pet Type='dog' Name='Rover' />
  </Student>
  <Student DateOfBirth='1993-09-10' Gender='F' Name='&#x00C9;mily' />
</Students>")

(def students (parse (-> xml-text .getBytes ByteArrayInputStream.)))

The parse produces a data structure where each element is represented as a map with :tag, :attrs, and :content keys. Thus the "April" element becomes {:tag :Student, :attrs {:Name "April", :Gender "F", :DateOfBirth "1989-01-02"}, :content nil}. xml-seq produces a sequence of such nodes by walking the resulting tree.

(doseq [{:keys [tag attrs]} (xml-seq students)]
  (if (= :Student tag)
    (println (:Name attrs))))

J

J's system includes several XML processing libraries. This task is probably best addressed using XPath (this is the type of problem XPath was designed to solve), but the task description implicitly discourages that method. So we can use the SAX library instead:

load'xml/sax'
 
saxclass 'Students'
startElement =: ([: smoutput 'Name' getAttribute~ [)^:('Student'-:])
cocurrent'base'
 
process_Students_ XML
April
Bob
Chad
Dave
Émily

and the definition of the variable XML:

XML=: noun define
<Students>
  <Student Name="April" Gender="F" DateOfBirth="1989-01-02" />
  <Student Name="Bob" Gender="M"  DateOfBirth="1990-03-04" />
  <Student Name="Chad" Gender="M"  DateOfBirth="1991-05-06" />
  <Student Name="Dave" Gender="M"  DateOfBirth="1992-07-08">
    <Pet Type="dog" Name="Rover" />
  </Student>
  <Student DateOfBirth="1993-09-10" Gender="F" Name="&#x00C9;mily" />

jq

Neither the C nor the Go implementations of jq natively support XML, so in this entry we present three solutions:

  • the first uses `xq`, a jq "wrapper";
  • the second uses a third-party XML-to-JSON translator, `knead`;
  • the third is a "pure jq" solution based on a Parsing Expression Grammar for XML.

xq

xq is part of the python-yq package [1].

xq -r '.Students.Student[]."@Name"' students.xml
Output:
April
Bob
Chad
Dave
Émily

knead | jq

`knead` is part of the `dataknead` package at https://hay.github.io/dataknead/

knead students.xml | jq -r '.Students.Student[]["@Name"]'
Output:

As above.

PEG-based Parsing

In this section, a PEG-based XML parser is presented. Its main goal is to translate valid XML documents into valid JSON losslessly, rather than to check for validity.

In particular, the relative ordering of embedded tags and "text" fragments is preserved, as is "white space" when significant in accordance with the XML specification.

Being PEG-based, however, the parser should be quite easy to adapt for other purposes.

A jq filter, `jsonify`, is also provided for converting hex character codes of the form `&#x....;' to the corresponding character, e.g. "Émily" -> "Émily". It also removes strings of the form '^\n *$' in the "text" portions of the XML document.

Some other noteworthy points:

  • since "duplicate attribute names within a tag are not permitted with XML", we can group the attributes within a tag as a JSON object, as jq respects key ordering.
  • since XML tags cannot begin with `@`, the "PROLOG" is rendered as a JSON object with key "@PROLOG" and likewise for "COMMENT", "DTD" and "CDATA".
  • consecutive attribute-value pairs are grouped together under the key named "@attributes".

The grammar is primarily adapted from:

PEG Infrastructure

The jq module at Category:Jq/peg.jq can be included by copying it to a file, and adding an `include` statement to top of the main program, e.g. as follows:

include "peg" {search: "."};

OmniMark

OmniMark′s pedigree was SGML processing. XML processing uses similar principles, with the OmniMark script taking two input files: first, a DTD defining the structure, and second, the XML data.

The DTDXML-input.dtd

<!DOCTYPE Students [

<!ELEMENT Students (Student)+ >

<!ELEMENT Student (Pet)* >
<!ATTLIST Student
  Name CDATA #REQUIRED
  Gender CDATA #REQUIRED
  DateOfBirth CDATA #REQUIRED >

<!ELEMENT Pet EMPTY >
<!ATTLIST Pet
  Type CDATA #REQUIRED
  Name CDATA #REQUIRED >

]>

The XMLXML-input.xml

<Students>
  <Student Name="April" Gender="F" DateOfBirth="1989-01-02" />
  <Student Name="Bob" Gender="M"  DateOfBirth="1990-03-04" />
  <Student Name="Chad" Gender="M"  DateOfBirth="1991-05-06" />
  <Student Name="Dave" Gender="M"  DateOfBirth="1992-07-08">
    <Pet Type="dog" Name="Rover" />
  </Student>
  <Student DateOfBirth="1993-09-10" Gender="F" Name="&#x00C9;mily" />
</Students>

The OmniMark scriptXML-input.xom

process
  local stream students-dtd initial {file 'XML-input.dtd'}
  local stream students-xml initial {file 'XML-input.xml'}

  do xml-parse document
    scan students-dtd || students-xml
    output "%c"
  done

  element Student
    output "%v(Name)%n"
    suppress

  element #implied ; all other elements can be suppressed, except <Students>

Note the last line (Émily) looks significantly better on this page, and on Linux or when run in a browser, than it (usually) does on a windows console!
You may need to code the constant using Name="&#x00C9;mily", but hopefully not, and not that doing so magically fixes the windows console.
The puts() has been broken in two specifically for running in a browser, so it doesn't look like that ("&"'d), and we don't want a false on the \n (ie do map that to <br>).

}

; REBOL has a simple built-in XML parser. It's not terribly fancy, but
; it's easy to use. It converts the XML into a nested list of blocks
; which can be accessed using standard REBOL path operators. The only
; annoying part (in this case) is that it does try to preserve
; whitespace, so some of the parsed elements are just things like line
; endings and whatnot, which I need to ignore.

; Once I have drilled down to the individual student records, I can
; just use the standard REBOL 'select' to locate the requested
; property.

data: parse-xml xml
students: data/3/1/3 ; Drill down to student records.
foreach student students [
	if block! = type? student [ ; Ignore whitespace elements.
		print select student/2 "Name"
	]

DOM API with roxmltree

This implementation uses roxmltree, which parses the entire XML document into a DOM. This DOM can then be iterated in a convenient fashion.

extern crate roxmltree;

const DOCUMENT: &str = r#"

    <Pet Type="dog" Name="Rover" />
  </Student>
  <Student DateOfBirth="1993-09-10" Gender="F" Name="&#x00C9;mily" />

TXR

This program shows how most of the information in the XML can be extracted with very little code, which doesn't actually understand XML. The name Émily is properly converted from the HTML/XML escape syntax.

Vim Script

let students_xml = readfile('XML-Input.xml')
call filter(students_xml, 'v:val =~ "<Student "')
let s:s_pat = '\v^.+(Name\=")@<=([A-z&#x0-9;]+).+'
let s:s_sub = '\2'
call map(students_xml, {_, val -> substitute(val, s:s_pat, s:s_sub, 'g')})
let s:s_pat = '\c\v\&#x0*([a-f][[:xdigit:]]|[[:xdigit:]]{3,7});'
let s:s_sub = '\=nr2char(str2nr(submatch(1), 16), 1)'
call map(students_xml, {_, val -> substitute(val, s:s_pat, s:s_sub, 'g')})
echo students_xml->writefile('XML-input.out.txt')

Explanation:

  1. Reads the XML file XML-Input.xml (with the contents pasted from the problem definition) into list, 'students_xml'. This uses builtin function readfile() which returns a list (where each line of the file is an item).
  2. Uses the builtin function filter() to retain only the items where "<Student " occurs because those are the only ones where the 'Name' attribute is applicable. (NB: this relies on the XML input not having "<Student " and "Name=" on separate lines in the XML input file, which would be well-formed XML. It is a non-issue in this instance because of the structure, though this point illustrates the value of a XML-aware solution/language and, ideally, an validating one.)
  3. Uses builtin functions map() and substitute() to: (a) Remove all content from the list items of the 'students_xml' list other than the contents of each 'Name' attribute, and (b) Replace hexadecimal character references with unicode characters (notwithstanding there is only one present in this instance) using builtin functions nr2char(), str2nr(), and submatch().
  4. Writes the output to the text file XML-input.out.txt using builtin command echo and builtin function writefile().

Output (to XML-input.out.txt):

April
Bob
Chad
Dave
Émily

Wren doesn't currently have an XML parser though we don't really need one for this task as string pattern matching is sufficient to extract the student names.

import "./pattern" for Pattern
import "./fmt" for Conv

var xml = 
"<Students>
  <Student Name=\"April\" Gender=\"F\" DateOfBirth=\"1989-01-02\" />
  <Student Name=\"Bob\" Gender=\"M\"  DateOfBirth=\"1990-03-04\" />
  <Student Name=\"Chad\" Gender=\"M\"  DateOfBirth=\"1991-05-06\" />
  <Student Name=\"Dave\" Gender=\"M\"  DateOfBirth=\"1992-07-08\">
    <Pet Type=\"dog\" Name=\"Rover\" />
  </Student>
  <Student DateOfBirth=\"1993-09-10\" Gender=\"F\" Name=\"&#x00C9;mily\" />
</Students>"

var p = Pattern.new("<+1^>>")
var p2 = Pattern.new(" Name/=\"[+1^\"]\"")
var p3 = Pattern.new("/&/#x[+1/h];")
var matches = p.findAll(xml)
for (m in matches) {
    var text = m.text
    if (text.startsWith("<Student ")) {
        var match = p2.find(m.text)
        if (match) {
            var name = match.captures[0].text
            var escapes = p3.findAll(name)
            for (esc in escapes) {
                var hd = esc.captures[0].text
                var char = String.fromCodePoint(Conv.atoi(hd, 16))
                name = name.replace(esc.text, char)
            }
            System.print(name)
        }
    }
}
Output:
April

Since the first version was written, the above XML parser has appeared and support for 'raw' strings has also been added to the language. Consequently, the solution can now be rewritten as follows, the output being the same as before.

import "./xsequence" for XDocument

var xml = """

  <Student Name="April" Gender="F" DateOfBirth="1989-01-02" />
  <Student Name="Bob" Gender="M"  DateOfBirth="1990-03-04" />
  <Student Name="Chad" Gender="M"  DateOfBirth="1991-05-06" />
  <Student Name="Dave" Gender="M"  DateOfBirth="1992-07-08">
    <Pet Type="dog" Name="Rover" />
  </Student>
  <Student DateOfBirth="1993-09-10" Gender="F" Name="&#x00C9;mily" />
</Students>
"""
var doc = XDocument.parse(xml)
var names = doc.root.elements("Student").map { |el| el.attribute("Name").value }.toList
System.print(names.join("\n"))
