Xml (extensible markup language) is used to describe the data and it allows more precise structuring of that data than in html (hypertext markup language). In xml, you can create your own tags and make syntax for those tags. Internet explorer used this xml documentation. Using java script, you can also reach the various elements of the xml page and make use of your data.

http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml : This provides latest XML specification. How W3C (world wide consortium) is in charge of specification of XML and sets the rules and procedure for using DTDs (document type definition) and other necessary elements.

Valid and well-formed Xml documents

The two things are important DTD or XML schema associated within document complies with the DTD or schema. That’s all there is to making a document valid for XML.

Tips: If you want to check up the xml page is valid or not you can open in internet explorer, which will tell you if the document does not comply with the DTD of Schema. Also your might want to check out the Microsoft XML validator page at http://msdn.microsoft.com/download/samples/internet/xml/xml_validator/de...

XMLs (Extensible Markup Language Schemas):

It is Microsoft alternatives to DTDs. Although schemas are supposed to be easier to create that DTDS according to Microsoft, attribute.

Creating XML documents

Extensible Markup Language document by creating an object corresponding to the xml documents root elements using method like next siblings, last child and so on. Actually access to data in the element in the XML document, we used properties like nodeName, nodeValue and nodeType. Many programmers find this easier than using navigation methods like nextSebling, lastChild, and so forth. Al these technologies in XML is advantageous in making programming and software web development.

Using data binding and XML

We can connect html files and text files to data source objects (DSOs) in a web page and binds DSOs to html controls like text fields and other html elements such as elements, in the page. To see which HTML elements you can bind data to and how, it works in the best way through “HTML Bound Tags.” XML is the language used in programming services and web designing services in great concern.
