Question

I have an XML file and I would like to merge two different CONTACT child nodes.

I have checked these websites it shows how to merge two different xml files into a single file.

http://www2.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~obecker/XSLT/#merge

Merge XML documents

In my case this is my first contact in the xml file:

<CONTACT>
<PDE-Identity>N65539</PDE-Identity>
<FirstName>Arun_niit</FirstName>
<LastName>Arun_niit</LastName>
<Facebook-ID/>
<EMAILS>
<EMail>
<Type>yahoo</Type>
<Value>[e-mail]</Value>
</EMail>
</EMAILS>
</CONTACT>

This is the second contact in the file:

<CONTACT>
<PDE-Identity>N65567</PDE-Identity>
<FirstName>Arun_niit</FirstName>
<LastName>Ramanathan</LastName>
<Facebook-ID/>
<EMAILS>
<EMail>
<Type>gmail</Type>
<Value>[e-mail]</Value>
</EMail>
<EMail>
<Type>yahoo</Type>
<Value>[e-mail]</Value>
</EMail>
</EMAILS>
</CONTACT>

I know both of the contacts are belongs to the same person. How can i merge these two contacts in the same xml file.

Original XML File:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Most browsers support XML parsing in javascript already. Here’s a sample snippet, which you’ll have to adapt to parse your specific input.

if (window.DOMParser)
  {
  parser=new DOMParser();
  xmlDoc=parser.parseFromString(text,"text/xml");
  }
else // Internet Explorer
  {
  xmlDoc=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
  xmlDoc.async="false";
  xmlDoc.loadXML(text);
  } 

For more information, I suggest you do a Google search for javascript xml dom.
