How to translate XML from one schema to another?

I want to translate XML documents with a specific schema to another schema. I know both old and new circuits ...

I am planning to use the python xml.dom library and translate line by line.

Any ideas on how to do this? Any tools or libraries in other languages ​​that can make this easier and more efficient.

Thank!

You can create XSLT to do this job. XSLT is specifically designed for translating XML data into other textual formats, including XML. For more information on XSLT, I recommend W3 Schools .

This is what XSLT was designed for. Since you know both schemas, you are writing an XSLT sheet that takes the original document and transforms it into a new schema. This is especially useful if there is a one-to-one mapping from the old schema to the new one.

XSLT is the "recommended" way to do this. However, you could do it faster with your python xml dom if you are familiar with python. However, learning XSLT is a good idea. I have to do it myself and I will do it with perl.
