Schema Data Schema Data ProcessingProcessing

Key ConceptsKey Concepts• XML fundamentals• XML document format• Document declaration• XML elements and attributes• Parsing• Reserved characters• CDATA• Schema fundamentals• Schema elements• Schema attributes and data types• XPath fundamentals• XPath tree

XML FundamentalsXML Fundamentals• Stored as text files.• Can be created with any text editor.• Hierarchical data storage format.• Must contain at least one (root)

element.• File names end in .xml extension by

default, but vary with use.

Sample XML DocumentSample XML Document• XML How to Program, Figure 5.1, pg.

Key PointsKey Points• Elements are enclosed in angle

brackets <>.• The root element is the first element

opened and last element closed.• Inner elements in the hierarchy are

called child elements.

Common Programming Common Programming ErrorsErrors

• Attempting to create more than one root element.

• Not adhering to case on element tags.

• Improper nesting.

Improper NestingImproper Nesting<?xml version = "1.0"?>

<myRoot>

<x><y>

Hello World

</x></y>
