    This document provides an overview of XML (eXtensible Markup Language) including its structure, purpose, and validation. XML was designed to store and transport data in a human- and machine-readable format. It has a root element, requires closed tags, and preserves whitespace. The document demonstrates creating an XML note with elements for to, from, heading, and body, and validating it using a DTD or XML schema.

    Recall as summry
    • XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language
    • XML is a markup language much like HTML
    • XML was designed to store and transport data
    • XML was designed to be self-descriptive
    • XML is a W3C Recommendation
    • XML Does Not DO Anything
    This note is a note to Amit from Ajay, stored as XML:

    • <note>
      <to>Amit</to>
      <from>Ajay</from>
      <heading>Reminder</heading>
      <body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>
    </note>
    About Note.xml
    • The XML above is quite self-descriptive:

    • It has sender information


    • It has receiver information
    • It has a heading
    • It has a message body
    XML Validation

    • XML file can be validated by 2 ways:

    • against DTD
    • against XSD
    • DTD (Document Type Definition) and XSD (XML Schema Definition)
    are used to define XML structure.
    employee.xml using DTD

    • <?xml version="1.0"?>
    • <!DOCTYPE employee SYSTEM "employee.dtd">
    • <employee>
    • <firstname>vimal</firstname>
    • <lastname>jaiswal</lastname>
    • <email>vimal@javatpoint.com</email>
    • </employee>
    XML Schema

    • An XML Schema describes the structure of an XML document,


    just like a DTD.
    • An XML document with correct syntax is called "Well Formed".
    • An XML document validated against an XML Schema is both
    "Well Formed" and "Valid".
    • XML Schemas are More Powerful than DTD
    • XML Schemas are written in XML
    • XML Schemas are extensible to additions
    • XML Schemas support data types
    • XML Schemas support namespaces
    • <xs:element name="note">

    <xs:complexType>
      <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element name="to" type="xs:string"/>
        <xs:element name="from" type="xs:string"/>
        <xs:element name="heading" type="xs:string"/>
        <xs:element name="body" type="xs:string"/>
      </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>

    </xs:element>
    • The Schema above is interpreted like this:
    • <xs:element name="note"> defines the element called "note"
    • <xs:complexType> the "note" element is a complex type
    • <xs:sequence> the complex type is a sequence of elements
    • <xs:element name="to" type="xs:string"> the element "to" is of type
    string (text)
    • <xs:element name="from" type="xs:string"> the element "from" is of
    type string
    • <xs:element name="heading" type="xs:string"> the element "heading"
    is of type string
    • <xs:element name="body" type="xs:string"> the element "body" is of
    type string
