I have the following xslt to transform data into a JQuery-accepted format. However, because JSON doesn’t accept double quotes in the data string, I need to replace ” with an escape sequence \”
XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Rowsets>
<Rowset>
<Columns>
<Column Description="Element_1" SQLDataType="12" />
<Column Description="Element_2" SQLDataType="12" />
<Column Description="Element_3" SQLDataType="93" />
</Columns>
<Row>
<Element_1>test_data</Element_1>
<Element_2>test_quo"te</Element_2>
<Element_3>test_data</Element_3>
</Row>
</Rowset>
</Rowsets>
Current XSLT:

Current output:

Desired output:
{ "aaData": [["test_data","test_quo\"te","test_data"]] }
Add this template to your code:
Then change:
to:
Your complete transformation now becomes:
when this transformation is applied on the provided XML document:
the wanted, correct result is produced:
