Abstract 'Effective XML'
XML is a simple, flexible meta-language for creating markup languages describing particular documents or domains. Fifth generation browsers like Internet Explorer 5, Safari, and Firefox can view XML pages directly, but that's not XML's only use. XML can also be used to define formats for printed documentation, files saved by programs, and data interchange between applications. XML is already being used in areas as diverse as mathematical notation, object serialization, vector graphics, meta-information, and more.
However, XML is not a database. It is not an object serialization tool. It is not a page layout program; and the principles we've learned in these realms don't always apply in the new world of XML. Six years after XML 1.0 was released, the community is finally beginning to understand which practices work and which ones don't. In this tutorial you'll not only learn what you can do with XML and how you can do it. You'll also learn about the best practices for making effective use of this new technology. No prior experience with XML is assumed.
