If any empty tags or no tags comes in input payload then it should not create that particular tag in output

Input XML

       <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <root>
        <Header>
            <Item1> 
                <text>data1</text>
                <text2>data2</text2>
            </Item1>
            <ItemMAIN>  
                <Item2> 
                    <text3>data3</text3>
                    <text4>data4</text4>
                </Item2>
            </ItemMAIN> 
            <Item3> 
                <text5>data5</text5>
                <text6>data6</text6>
            </Item3>
            <Item3> 
                <text5>data7</text5>
                <text6>data8</text6>
            </Item3>
            <Item3> 
                <text5>data9</text5>
    
            </Item3>
            <Item4> 
                <text5>data10</text5>
                <text6/>
            </Item4>
        </Header>
    </root>

Output XML :

    <soap:TestEnvelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:mp="http://example.com" xmlns:kt="http://exampleKT.com" >
    <soap:Headdata>
        <kt:name>   
            <mp:Item1>  
                <mp:text>data1</mp:text>
                <mp:text2>data2</mp:text2>
            </mp:Item1>
        </kt:name>  
    </soap:Headdata>
    <soap:Bodydata1>
        <kt:name>   
            <mp:Item2>  
                <mp:text3>data3</mp:text3>
                <mp:text4>data4</mp:text4>
            </mp:Item2>
        </kt:name>  
    </soap:Bodydata1>
    <soap:Bodydata2>
        <kt:name>   
            <mp:Item3>  
                <mp:text5>data5</mp:text5>
                <mp:text6>data6</mp:text6>
            </mp:Item3>
        </kt:name>  
        <kt:name>   
            <mp:Item3>  
                <mp:text5>data7</mp:text5>
                <mp:text6>data8</mp:text6>
            </mp:Item3>
        </kt:name>  
        <kt:name>   
            <mp:Item3>  
                <mp:text5>data9</mp:text5>
            </mp:Item3>
        </kt:name>  
    </soap:Bodydata2>
    <soap:Bodydata3>
        <kt:name>   
            <mp:Item4>  
                <mp:text5>data10</mp:text5>
            </mp:Item4>
        </kt:name>  
    </soap:Bodydata3>
</soap:TestEnvelope>

Tried XSLT Code : I tried like below but it gives me impression that i am trying to hardcode each field. But would like to have a code that i can use if there is any extra xml field in future should also be handled.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    <xsl:template match="/">
        <soap:TestEnvelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:mp="http://example.com" xmlns:kt="http://exampleKT.com" >
            <soap:Headdata>
                <xsl:for-each select="/root/Header">
                    <kt:name>   
                        <mp:text>   
                            <xsl:value-of select="Item1/text"/>
                        </mp:text>  
                        <mp:text2>  
                            <xsl:value-of select="Item1/text2"/>
                        </mp:text2>
                    </kt:name>
                </soap:Headdata>
            </xsl:for-each>
            <xsl:for-each select="/root/Header/ItemMAIN">               
                <soap:Bodydata1>
                    <kt:name>
                        <mp:text3>  
                            <xsl:value-of select="Item2/text3"/>
                        </mp:text3> 
                        <mp:text4>  
                            <xsl:value-of select="Item2/text4"/>
                        </mp:text4> 
                    </kt:name>
                </soap:Bodydata1>
            </xsl:for-each>
                    :
                    :
                    :
        </xsl:template>

        <xsl:template match="*[not(*)][not(normalize-space())]" />

    </xsl:stylesheet>

I see that you need namespaces, add a namespace to the element function, and it will all be handled with the XSLT-processor, depending and correct in conjunction with the declared namespaces in top of the result-xml.

Like this:

<xsl:param name="ns" select="string('https://a_namespace/')"/>

<xsl:element name="AnElement" namespace="{$ns}">
