This is the first installment of a two part tutorial on parsing XML in Perl. It describes an overview of parsers available, validating and nonvalidating parsers, stream-based and tree-based parsers, and Perl modules for parsing XML. The article also includes step by step annotated code for a simple parser.

This tutorial illustrates how PHP coders can develop scripts to parse XML (in this example, news items in Rich Site Summary format) using PHP's included expat XML parser. Downloadable source code is included.

Current security technologies in common deployment are insufficient for securing business transactions on the Web. Most existing browser-based security mechanisms, generally adequate for low-value business-to-consumer transactions, do not provide the enhanced security or flexibility required for protecting high-value commercial transactions and the sensitive data exchanges that comprise them.

In this tutorial the author shows how to use eXtensible Style Language Transformations (XSLT) and Java to transform XML documents to HTML pages, XML to XML documents into Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), and finally XML documents into high-quality, print-optimized documents in PDF format.

This month and the next, we turn to some practical considerations. How can you get started with XML now? How can you go from an XML document instance to a DTD? How can you view the results?

Would you like to learn XML, but aren't sure where to start? Here are some good tutorials to point you in the right direction.

Extensible Markup Language (XML), what is it and what is it good for? This paper will cover the basic concepts of markup languages and describe the syntax of XML as well some of its uses and potential benefits to computing. Additionally it will discuss the basics of extensible stylesheets (XSLT) and how they can be used to transform XML documents.

Now that you have a basic understanding of XML, it makes sense to get a high-level overview of the various XML-related acronyms and what they mean. There is a lot of work going on around XML, so there is a lot to learn.

XML stands for the Extensible Markup Language. XML has been designed to address a number of deficiencies in HTML.

In this paper we point out the benefits of using structured content in Web Based Training (WBT) scenarios. Using an XML compliant subset of the DocBook document type definition –enriched with semantics for interactive hypermedia and educational elements– we present a complete publishing workflow for educational online material.

to jump off. This tutorial is for programmers who have already mastered SAX and DOM and are looking for the next level. We'll be

This article explains how to overcome some of the limitations of using MySQL with XML.

WELCOME to the Java Developer Connection (JDC) Tech Tips, June 27, 2000. This issue is covers some aspects of using the JavaTM programming language with XML. First there's a short introduction to XML, followed by tips on how to use two APIs designed for use with XML.

This updated tutorial covers the basics of manipulating XML documents using Java technology. Doug Tidwell looks at the common APIs for XML and discusses how to parse, create, manipulate, and transform XML documents.

Microsoft's Internet Explorer version 4.0 was the first Web browser to support XML. Since then XML support has been introduced in various Microsoft products, such as Office XP and SQL Server 2000. Microsoft re-assured its commitment by including extensive support for XML in the .NET framework.

XML for Data Grid Appliations [PPT]

The Infoset is the unfortunate standard to which those in retreat from the radical and most useful implications of well-formedness have rallied. At its core the Infoset insists that there is 'more' to XML than the straightforward syntax of well-formedness. By imposing its canonical semantics the Infoset obviates the infinite other semantic outcomes which might be elaborated in particular unique circumstances from an instance of well-formed XML 1.0 syntax.

XML Introduction

In this tutorial, we will read an XML document and map the content of the XML document to a Java object model; this model can then be view and modified using a JFC/Swing application. Also, we will generate an XML document from this Java object model.

What is XML? There are many, wider, better and more in-depth descriptions of XML than this. W3C has a good page to start from if you want to know more. The official Qt XML documentation is also well worth reading. This will be a pragmatic guide to XML. There is far more to know, and far more that one needs to know. The purpose is to show how to get started with Qt and XML.
