XML Programming Bible
Chapter One
XML ConceptsThis book is targeted at programmers who need to develop solutions using XML. Being a programmer myself, I know that theory without practical examples and applications can be tedious, and you probably want to get straight to real-world examples. You're in luck, because this book is full of working examples-but not in this chapter. Some theory is necessary so that you have a fundamental understanding of XML. I'll keep the theory of XML and related technologies to a minimum as I progress through the chapters, but we do need to cover some of the basics up front.
This chapter provides readers who are new to XML with an overview and history of XML, its purposes, and comparisons against previous and alternative integration technologies, and ends with an overview of the next XML version, XML 1.1. The rest of the chapters in this part of the book will use real-world examples to describe XML basic formats, the structure of well-formed XML documents, and XML validation against DTDs and Schemas. The chapters on XSL Transformations and XSL Formatting Objects will illustrate the transformation and formatting of XML data using XSLT via working examples. This part of the book will be finished with examples of parsing XML documents, as well as specific examples of XML parsing using Simple API for XML (SAX) and Document Object Model (DOM).
