This book focuses on Extensible Markup Language (XML), a technology with significant real-world applications for data management, display, and organization. It serves as a comprehensive guide for understanding XML, its functionalities, surrounding technologies, and practical uses, ranging from simple data transfers to web page integration. The updated edition includes new material reflecting recent developments in the XML landscape, such as SOAP, Web Services, and the W3C's XML Schemas Recommendation. Key topics covered include XML syntax and well-formed XML writing, XML Namespaces, transforming XML with XSLT, and using XPath and XPointer for data location. It also addresses XML validation through DTDs and XML Schemas, document manipulation with DOM and SAX 2.0, and displaying XML with CSS and XSL. Additionally, the book explores incorporating XML into traditional databases and n-tier architectures, as well as linking resources with XLink and XPointer. This resource is ideal for developers eager to learn XML for web, e-commerce, or data-storage applications. While prior knowledge of markup, scripting, or object-oriented programming is beneficial, the book explains foundational techniques as needed.
