XML language concept and tools
The course begins with an introduction to the basic concepts and syntax of XML. Participants will understand how XML documents are structured, including the structure of elements, attributes and hierarchies. It will explain how XML tags are used to enclose and organize data and how the tree structure of XML documents works.
Another important aspect is the concept of well-formed and valid XML:
- Well-formed XML: participants will learn the rules that an XML document must fulfill in order to be considered well-formed. This includes the correct nesting of elements, the closing of all tags and the use of quotation marks for attribute values.
- Valid XML: It also explains how XML documents can be validated against a DTD (Document Type Definition) or XML Schema to ensure that they conform to the defined structures and rules. Valid XML means that the document is not only well-formed, but also complies with all the rules defined in the DTD or schema.
