Study Notes
XML
- Stands for Extensible Markup Language.
- Designed to store and transport data efficiently while being self-descriptive.
- Commonly used for data distribution over the Internet or between different systems.
XML Tree Structure
- Consists of a single root element that can branch into multiple child elements.
XML Syntax Rules
- Must include a root element for proper structure.
- XML prologue (optional) appears on the first line, detailing XML version and encoding.
- Elements should have corresponding closing tags.
- Tags are case-sensitive, meaning <Tag> is different from
. - Elements must be properly nested to maintain hierarchy.
- Attributes must always be enclosed in quotes.
- Special characters like < or > are represented as entity references (< or >).
- Comments follow HTML formatting style.
- White space is preserved, unlike in HTML where it may be ignored.
- New lines are stored using Line Feed (LF).
- Documents that comply with these rules are referred to as 'well-formed' XML.
JSON
- Stands for JavaScript Object Notation.
JSON Syntax
- Data is organized into name/value pairs.
- Each data entry is separated by commas for clarity.
- Objects are contained within curly braces
{}. - Arrays are represented by square brackets
[]. - A name/value pair consists of a field name (double-quoted), a colon, and a value.
Allowed JSON Values
- Must be one of the following types:
- String (double quotes required)
- Number
- Object (JSON object)
- Array
- Boolean
- Null
File Extension
- JSON files are saved with the .json extension.
JSON and XML Example: Employees
- JSON: An "employees" object contains an array of three employee objects. Each employee object has "firstname" and "lastname" fields with corresponding values.
- XML: Root node 'employees' has three 'employee' child nodes, each containing 'firstname' and 'lastname' child nodes with their respective values.
