XML
•XML stands for EXtensibleMarkup Language.
•XML is a markup languagemuch like HTML.
•XML was designed to describe data.
•XML tags are not predefined. You must define
your own tags.
•XML uses a Document Type Definition(DTD)
or an XML Schemato describe the data.
•XML with a DTD or XML Schema is designed to
be self-descriptive.

The Main Differences
Between XML and HTML
–XML was designed to carry data.
–XML is not a replacement for HTML.
–XML and HTML were designed with different
goals:
•XML was designed to describe data and to focus on
what data is.
•HTML was designed to display data and to focus on
how data looks.
–HTML is about displaying information, while XML
is about describing information.

XMLEncoding
•XML documents can contain international
characters, like Norwegian æøå, or French
êèé.
•To avoid errors, you should specify the
encoding used, or save your XML files.
•Character encoding defines a unique binary
code for each different character used in a
document.
•In computer terms, character encoding are
also called character set, character map, code
set, and code page.

Elements vs. Attributes
Elements may have attributes(in the start tag) that have a nameand
a value, e.g. <section number=“1“>.
What is the difference between elements and attributes?
•Only one attribute with a given name per element (but an arbitrary
number of subelements)
•Attributes have no structure, simply strings (while elements can have
subelements)
As a rule of thumb:
•Content into elements
•Metadata into attributes
Example:
<person born=“1912-06-23“ died=“1954-06-07“>

Document Type Definitions
•A DTD describes the tree structure of a
document and something about its data.
•There are two data types, PCDATA and CDATA.
–PCDATA is parsed character data.
–CDATA is character data, not usually parsed.
•A DTD determines how many times a node
may appear, and how child nodes are ordered.

Schemas
•Schemas are themselves XML documents.
•They were standardized after DTDs and provide more
information about the document.
•They have a number of data types including string,
decimal, integer, boolean, date, and time.
•They divide elements into simple and complex types.
•They also determine the tree structure and how
many children a node may have.

XML Parsers
•An XML parser is a software library or package
that provides interfaces for client applications
to work with an XML document.
•The XML Parser is designed to read the XML
and create a way for programs to use XML.
•XML parser validates the document and check
that the document is well formatted.

DOM (Document Object Model)
•A DOM document is an object which contains
all the information of an XML document. It is
composed like a tree structure.
•The DOM Parser implements a DOM API. This
API is very simple to use.

Features of DOM Parser
•A DOM Parser creates an internal structure in
memory which is a DOM document object and
the client applications get information of the
original XML document by invoking methods
on this document object.
•DOM Parser has a tree based structure.

they just overrides the methods of the API and
