XML Specification Guide

Ian S. Graham ; Liam Quin

The masters of XML show how to unleash the language's vast potential. Less complicated than SGML and more flexible than HTML, XML (Extensible Markup Language) is fast becoming the language of choice for Web developers and programmers. Readers are looking for a clear-cut roadmap to this new technology's exciting terrain--its advantages, capabilities, and little-known shortcuts. XML Specification Guide is what the Web world is waiting for. After a concise overview of the purpose and scope of XML and its principles, the authors--renowned XML experts--provide an in-depth, annotated specification guide, complete with sample applications. Beyond comprehensive coverage of the XML specification, the book discusses the new "namespaces" technology from W3C, the Tiny XML subset, databases and object-oriented models, and much more.
