Lo.a.tt E LDocument EMS - XML stands for Extensible Markup Language : It is used for data storing and transferring from one application to another. — Itis a text-based markup language generated from Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML). — Unlike HTML tags, which focus on presentation of data, XML tags focuses on data and way to organize that data. @ The characteristics of XML — XML is extensible : In XML, you to create your own tags means self descriptive tags, or language that suits your application. - XML carries the data, does not.present it : XML enables you to store the information or data and carry data without bothering how it going to be presented. -— XML is a public standard : XML is open source language which was created by an association called the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) * XML Usage -— To provide the content to HTML document for large web sites, XML works in the background. — XML can be used to exchange the information or data between application and organizations. — XML can be used for loading, reloading and offloading of databases. - XML can be used to store, arrange and manage the data, which will help you to manage your data according to your needs. — XML can easily include style sheets to provide any desired output. - Any application can convert its data to an XML document and transfer it to any other application where it again converts XML data to its respective form. * Simple XML Document g =- 5 ee eee - a Pee, IVR. hites RY?> eo eS e a ne ™ partes + ATL VE" eek =F —= UEl-O re ie a stud a i aes Cees ioe —— s ie r[s ” Tech-Neo Publications..........

Tags and Elements An XML document consist of different user defined XML elements, also called XML nodes or XML tags.

Namespace is a mechanism by which element and attribute name can be assigned to a group. The Namespace is identified by URI (Uniform Resource Identifiers). @ Namespace Declaration A Namespace is declared using reserved attributes. Such an attribute name must either be xmlns or begin with xmlns: shown as below : = Rules 1. The Namespace starts with the keyword “xmlns”. The word name is the Namespace prefix, which you need to use throughout the document refer namespace. ofS The URL is the Namespace identifier. 2 3. 3 ~ Document Type Declaration (DTD) LQ. 3.3.1. What is DTD? ECE — The XML Document Type Declaration, D generally known as DTD, is nothing but the way to describe- XML omttnent precisely. — DTDs validate vocabulary and validity of the structure of XML documents and present data against grammatical and business rules. — An XML DTD can be either specified in two ways i.e. inside the same document, or it can be kept in a separate file and then linked it main xm! file. Ff Syntax Syntax of a DTD can be define as follows :
