XML was based off of the Standard Generalized Markup Language. It was built to fill the need for a strategic storage system that was easy to read and manipulate data with.
XML was first developed to make SGML usable for Web purposes. SGML is a very large and complicated norm (thousands of pages). XML is kind of a subset of SGML, but at the same time has more restrictive rules, so that parsers and Transformers working on XML are faster and more easy to implement.
That depends on what you want to do, xml tools include; xml parsers xml validators xml editors xml schema editors xml code generators
To manipulate an XML document in javascript, you need an XML parser. Today all browsers come with in-built parsers that can parse the XML document. The parser loads the document into your computer's memory. Once the document is loaded, its data can be manipulated using the DOM(Document Object Model). There is significant differences in implementation of Microsoft Browser based XML parser and the Mozilla browsers based XML parser.
there is no source code, xml is not a programming language, its a markup language for which you create your own tags, the basic xml syntax is <xml> to start an xml file, and </xml> to end the xml file.
A lot of modern software comes with XML parsers (only if they're relevant, obviously). It would take major reworking of the software in question to incorporate XML parsers. Some modern browsers, PC games, and general applications that store data use XML parsers, and come with them after installation.
it is the same way to create xml file by converting into txt you have to use the correct xml syntax ie <xml> this is to denote strat of xml file and this </xml> denotes end of xml file. You have to use the right xml code or your xml file wont be valid or well formed.
If you open the xml in most web browser it will state an error code denoting the type of malformation of the xml. you can use an xml tool like an xml editor to validate and correct your xml.
If you use an xml tool like liquid xml studio or any other xml tool you will be able to convert your xml into an xsd or dtd.
XML Schema is an XML-based alternative to DTD.An XML schema describes the structure of an XML document.The XML Schema language is also referred to as XML Schema Definition (XSD).An XML schema is a description of a type of XML document, typically expressed in terms of constraints on the structure and content of documents of that type, above and beyond the basic syntactical constraints imposed by XML itself.
As a programmer, processing pure XML is easier that HTML. This is because XML follows a very strict set of standards. HTML (such as HTML 4 or 5) does not. For instance, all XML tags close, either by a closing pair, or a "self-closing" tag. e.g.: <tag></tag> Or <tag /> Whereas HTML tags such as line-break and image don't follow the same pattern. <img> <br> By adhere to stricter rules, XML is easier for me to parse.
XML is a language used to store data. XSLT is a language which is used to transform XML into other XML.
Well-formed XML means that the XML is correct (it has only one root node, and all elements match an end element tag)Valid XML means that the XML can be validated to an XML Schema or DTD, and that all the tags in the XML are also in the Schema or DTD, and in the right place.
xml stands for extensible markeup language, xml is a meta language.
