XML is not a programming language. However, as a markup language, it is used to annotate data using tags, which interpret that data. Programming languages consist of instructions to implementalgorithms, while m
The development and composition of Web services (or e-services) is currently a very active area in both industry and academic research. The main purpose of our work was to provide a clean basis for a new XML programming language for rapid development of Web services. In the industry, there...
XML is a plain-text, Unicode-based meta-language: a language for defining markup languages. It is not tied to any programming language, operating system, or software vendor. XML provides access to a plethora of technologies for manipulating, structuring, transforming and querying data. (14 ...
Since XML is a markup language, a tool capable of analyzing and understanding the lexical syntax is needed to effectively use the information stored in the documents. This tool is the XML parser—a sort of black box component that reads in markup text and returns platform-...
While one application might use this input to display the equation, another might use it to solve the equation with a series of values. That’s a sign of XML’s power. You can also store graphics in XML documents. The Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) language is used to draw resizable lin...
Streamingpush parsingrefers to a programming model in which an XML parser sends (pushes) XML data to the client as the parser encounters elements in an XML infoset—that is, the parser sends the data whether or not the client is ready to use it at that time. ...
This element has an attribute and it contains other elements, therefore we consider it as a complex type. The child elements of the "shiporder" element is surrounded by a xs:sequence element that defines an ordered sequence of sub elements:<xs:element name="shiporder"> <xs:complexType> <...
The Java API for XML Processing (JAXP) is for processing XML data using applications written in the Java programming language. JAXP leverages the parser standards Simple API for XML Parsing (SAX) and Document Object Model (DOM) so that you can choose to parse your data as a stream of event...
Today the term XSLT refers specifically to the transformation programming language, while the term XSL is often used loosely to refer to the formatting language (FO), although strictly speaking it refers to the combination of both languages. Q When I execute my XSLT, all of the text in the ...
The Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) APIs can be used for many purposes. For example, with a sufficiently intelligent stylesheet, you could generate PDF or PostScript output from the XML data. But generally, XSLT is used to generate formatted HTML output, or to create an ...
