HTML and XML Basics

A sequence of characters at the beginning of an XML document that informs the XML software about the version of XML used.

A key feature of XML allowing it to describe any data that can be represented as nested text within tags.

A method to avoid naming conflicts when combining different XML vocabularies by grouping related tags under unique identifiers.

A mechanism to define the logical structure and sections of an XML document, ensuring consistency and validation.

A method in RESTful systems using HTTP to send new data.

A unique identifier for each resource within a RESTful system, used for accessing and manipulating data.

The creator of REST, who introduced the concept in his doctoral dissertation.

A method in RESTful systems using HTTP to remove data from a server.

The standard language for creating web pages. It uses tags to define the structure and content of a webpage.

A meta-language used to define other markup languages, including HTML and XML. It provides the rules and principles for creating markup languages.

A flexible language for storing and sharing data. It uses tags to define the structure and content of data, allowing data to be easily exchanged between different applications.

XML documents utilize self-definable tags. These tags are created by the user and define the structure and meaning of the data within the document.

The actual data content that is contained within an XML element.

The specification that defines the syntax rules for creating valid XML documents. It ensures consistency and allows for proper processing of XML data.

A language used to define the structure, data types, and constraints of an XML document. It acts as a blueprint, ensuring data conforms to specified rules.

The process of checking whether an XML document conforms to the defined rules and syntax defined by XML standards or schemas. It ensures data integrity and consistency.

A way to connect multiple commands in PowerShell using the pipe symbol '|' to pass the output of one command as the input to the next.

This cmdlet displays data in a structured table format with rows and columns, making output more readable.

This cmdlet provides information about objects, showing their properties and methods.

Used to display a string, variable, or other information on the console.

PowerShell scripts can be run through various methods including Windows PowerShell cmdlets, the integrated scripting environment, and the command prompt.

A key characteristic of RESTful APIs is that they rely on named resources to represent data. These resources are identified using URLs, allowing you to access and interact with specific data through the API.

In PowerShell, the WhatIf parameter is a safety feature allowing you to preview the potential effects of a command without actually executing it. This helps you understand what will change before committing to the action.

PowerShell Providers are specialized .NET programs that enable you to work with various data stores as if they were mounted filesystem drives. This allows for consistent access and management of data from diverse sources like registries, filesystems, and Active Directory.

An alias in PowerShell is an alternative name you assign to a command or cmdlet, allowing you to use a shorter or more memorable name to invoke it. This can increase your efficiency and improve readability of scripts.

The ErrorAction parameter in PowerShell lets you control how the cmdlet should behave when errors occur. You can choose to continue execution, stop, silently continue, or request user input.

A characteristic of REST where resources are linked together using URLs, allowing clients to navigate and access related information easily.

A characteristic of REST where each request from a client to a server must contain all the necessary information, as the server doesn't store any context about previous requests.

A characteristic of REST where clients initiate requests to servers to retrieve or manipulate data. It's a pull-based interaction where clients control the flow of information.

A characteristic of REST where all resources are accessed using a consistent and standardized interface, making interactions simpler and more predictable.

A mechanism for storing frequently accessed data in memory or temporary storage to speed up responses. RESTful APIs can label responses as cacheable or non-cacheable.

Components that establish connections between different parts of a system. In REST, they enable communication between clients and servers.

A command-line shell and scripting language used for automating system management tasks in Windows environments.

The ability to interact with and manage various products and domains using PowerShell commands.

Executing PowerShell commands on multiple nodes or systems simultaneously, enabling efficient management.

Using if and else statements in scripts to control program flow based on specific conditions.

A file that describes the format or presentation of an XML document, enabling customization.

This Bash script iterates through numbers 1 to 5, printing each number on a new line.

The process of creating an XML document, which involves defining elements and attributes to represent data.

Acquiring knowledge about XML syntax, structure, and its use in data representation.
