Xml

This second edition of the bestselling Learning XML provides web developers with a concise but grounded understanding of XML (the Extensible Markup Language) and its potential-- not just a whirlwind tour of XML.The author explains the important and relevant XML technologies and their capabilities clearly and succinctly with plenty of real-life projects and useful examples. He outlines the elements of markup--demystifying concepts such as attributes, entities, and namespaces--and provides enough depth and examples to get started. Learning XML is a reliable source for anyone who needs to know XML, but doesn't want to waste time wading through hundreds of web sites or 800 pages of bloated text.For writers producing XML documents, this book clarifies files and the process of creating them with the appropriate structure and format. Designers will learn what parts of XML are most helpful to their team and will get started on creating Document Type Definitions. For programmers, the book makes syntax and structures clear. Learning XML also discusses the stylesheets needed for viewing documents in the next generation of browsers, databases, and other devices.Learning XML illustrates the core XML concepts and language syntax, in addition to important related tools such as the CSS and XSL styling languages and the XLink and XPointer specifications for creating rich link structures. It includes information about three schema languages for validation: W3C Schema, Schematron, and RELAX-NG, which are gaining widespread support from people who need to validate documents but aren't satisfied with DTDs. Also new in this edition is a chapter on XSL-FO, a powerful formatting language for XML. If you need to wade through the acronym soup of XML and start to really use this powerful tool, Learning XML, will give you the roadmap you need.

What is XML? XML, or eXtensible Markup Language, is a specification for storing information. It is also a specification for describing the structure of that information. And while XML is a markup language (just like HTML), XML has no tags of its own. It allows the person writing the XML to create whatever tags they need. The only condition is that these newly created tags adhere to the rules of the XML specification. In the seven years since the first edition of “XML: Visual QuickStart Guide” was published, XML has taken its place next to HTML as a foundational language on the Internet. XML has become a very popular method for storing data and the most popular method for transmitting data between all sorts of systems and applications. The reason being, where HTML was designed to display information, XML was designed to manage it. “XML: Visual QuickStart Guide, 2nd Edition” is divided into seven parts. Each part contains one or more chapters with step-by-step instructions that explain how to perform XML-related tasks. Wherever possible, examples of the concepts being discussed are displayed, and the parts of the examples on which to focus are highlighted. The order of the book is intentionally designed to be an introduction to the fundamentals of XML, followed by discussions of related XML technologies.

XML is the logical choice for a powerful data medium transferable across applications and platforms. This book takes a streamlined approach, giving the reader all they need to hit the ground running, without making them trawl through hundreds of pages of syntax. The book is also thoroughly up-to-date, covering the newest XML standards (DOM 3.0, XSLT 2.0, XPath 2.0) and Java tools (including JAXB, Xerces2-j, JAXP, XML Beans, and many more,) and the relevant new features of Java 5 and 6. In short, the book gives readers all they need to master cutting edge XML development with Java.

XML has become the standard for all kinds of integration and deployment of applications, regardless of the technology platform. XML & Related Technologies covers all aspects of dealing with XML, both from a conceptual as well as from a practical po.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International XML Database Symposium, XSym 2009, held in Lyon, France, in August 2009 in conjunction with the International Conference on Very Large Data Bases, VLDB 2009. The 8 revised full papers together with 7 short paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 26 submissions. Covering all current aspects of core database technology for XML data management, XML and data integration, and development and deployment of XML applications, the papers are organized in topical sections on XML twig queries, query execution, xml document parsing and compression, XQuery and XML transaction management and schema design.

An informative guide that starts with an explanation of Schema basics, why they were created, their advatanges, and an overview of the major parts of structure and datatypes. The bulk of the book explains the many parts of Schema.

This guide for Web developers and database programmers shows how to build robust XML applications backed by SQL databases. After an overview of advantages of XML and SQL, stages of application development are detailed step-by-step, illustrated with examples of when and how each technology is most effective. Coverage includes project definition, data modeling, database schema design, and Java programming with XML and SQL. The book is intended for software developers managing small- to medium-scale projects. Appelquist is a technology consultant in content management and e-business strategy.
