An XML element is made up of a start tag, an end tag, and data in between.

Example: <director> Matthew Dunn </director> Example of another element with the same value: <actor> Matthew Dunn </actor> XML tags are case-sensitive: <CITY> <City> <city> XML can abbreviate empty elements, for example: <married> </married> can be abbreviated to <married/>

Attributes In XML Document An attribute is a name-value pair separated

by an equal sign (=). Example:

<City ZIP=“247667”> Roorkee </City> Attributes are used to attach additional,

secondary information to an element.

All elements must have an end tag. All elements must be cleanly nested

(overlapping elements are not allowed). All attribute values must be enclosed in

quotation marks. Each document must have a unique first

element, the root node.
