Remove namespace from the xml

February 28, 2024

Below is the Input XML that I am trying to convert to another xml without namespace. I tried to remove namespace but it is not working. All the required details are provided below for the request.

>Solution :

You could do:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

<xsl:template match="/*">
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
    
<xsl:template match="*">
    <xsl:element name="{local-name()}">
        <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Do note that the output is an XML fragment (no single root element), not a well-formed XML document.
