This tutorial describes: Simple XML Elements with Pre-defined Data Types Simple XML Elements with Extended Data Types Complex XML Elements Simple Content XML Elements Empty XML Elements Anomymous Data Types Sample XSD File - dictionary.xsd

The article you are going to read on this page refers to what is blog/website pinging and how it works. What is XML RPC, and why we use it to deliver pings to content update monitoring services such as Technorati. In this article you will also learn about how to get the best out of the pings that you send from different pinging services.

Learn how to create an XML document from scratch and find out why XML is becoming so important. Topics covered include: popular XML editors, basic XML syntax, how to properly nest your XML tags, and much more.

In 1970 IBM Introduced SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language). SGML was developed out of the General Markup Language (GML), which was developed by IBM in the late 1960s. SGML is a semantic and structural language for text documents but is very complicated. HTML is a subset of SGML. In 1996 XML Working Group was formed under W3C .The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international consortium where Member organizations, a full-time staff, and the public work together to develop Web standards . W3C was created by Tim Berners-Lee in 1994 who also invented the World Wide Web in 1989. In 1998 W3C introduced XML 1.0.

In this tutorial you will learn about Elements, Anatomy of tags, Tag naming rules, Invalid tags, Valid tags, Root and child elements, Attributes, When Do I use Attributes? Entities, Character data sections, Comments and Processing instructions.

This example demonstrates a nice an easy way to databing an an XML Document to an ASP.NET drop down control.

This sample was generated in response to a question that was asked of me from my website. I thought that I would share it with the rest of the world. The question was: "I have been trying (without any luck) to create an XSL file that will create an HTML page that shows the picture (the location is in the tag). Do you have any ideas?"

This is another simple snippet that shows how to use XSLT and CSS on the client to format your XML data.

This snippet demonstrates uses the "Singles Online" dating application to demonstrate some of most common functionality found in business applications. a) Filtering b) Sorting by column header (ascending or descending) and c) Highlighting the row as the mouse moves over it. As with my other "Redneck Employee" snippet, it uses a behavior .htc file to do the highlighting and column sorting. However, this snippet also demonstrates how to use XML/XSLT to filter the data data island in the page.

This application is a version of the well-known game of jeopardy that we use in our FlaDotNet.com .NET user group. Not only is it fun, but it demonstrates various techiques for processing XML and XSLT in .NET. It is definitely a great reference for learning how to access and transform your XML data in .NET

This snippet demonstrates the all too common functionality of adding, modifying and deleting elements in an xml document. The demo page (see below) displays the xml before and after the actions.

This snippet how to use XML Data Islands in IE to display XML that stores a parent-child relationship. It also demonstrates how you can expand/collapse child elements for a cleaner display of your data. Written by The Head Geek - Creator of XMLPitstop.com.

When designing XML and Web services schemata you will often (and ideally) reuse data elements defined in pre-existing standards. If so, it is extremely useful to include links to such standards, providing precise data dictionary references. In so doing, you make processing and maintenance easier to automate. This tip illustrates this practice.

This tutorial introduces XPath and covers most aspects of it. It is aimed at people who do not know XPath or want a refresher. If you plan to use XSLT, you should take this tutorial first. You will learn: What XPath is, the syntax and semantics of the XPath language, how to use XPath location paths, how to use XPath expressions, how to use XPath functions, and how XPath relates to XSLT. XPath is a W3C standard. This tutorial covers version 1.0.

Data binding, although commonplace in today's world of Java technology and XML programming, is still largely misunderstood. This column throws out all the theoretical claptrap and focuses on the concepts you need to get started with data binding. You will understand the differences between general data binding and data binding in the XML world, as well as round-tripping, semantic equivalence, and what to look for in a data binding package.

Over time, XML has permeated many niches. One area where XML is used increasingly is in the configuration of graphical user interfaces, especially in elements that are persistent but should not be fixed at compile-time. In this installment, David looks at the use of XML in Mac OS X's Aqua GUI, and in the K Desktop Environment (KDE) which is either standard or available in most modern Linux distributions.

In this article, the author examines how JAX-RPC SOAP handlers process SOAP message headers. Specifically, he shows how a handler adds a SOAP header to an outgoing message and how a corresponding handler removes the SOAP header from an incoming message. In addition, he presents the JAX-RPC programmatic configuration and deployment models as they relate to this topic.

XML namespaces are an imperfect solution to a difficult problem. From basic information architecture to difficulties with APIs, namespaces can open up rather painful gotchas if used carelessly. In this article, Uche Ogbuji covers some of the more important design principles which, if followed, can minimize problems with namespaces.
