EBooks » XML
XML is bringing together some fairly disparate groups into a new cultural
clash: document developers trying to understand what a transaction is, database
analysts getting upset because the relational model doesn't fit anymore, and web
designers having to deal with schemata and rule based transformations. The key
to rising above the confusion is to understand the different semantic structures
that lie beneath the standards of XML, and how to model the semantics to achieve
the goals of the organization.
A pure architecture of XML doesn't exist yet, and it may never exist as the
underlying technologies are so diverse. Still, the key to understanding how to
build the new web infrastructure for electronic business lies in understanding
the landscape of these new standards.

XML is one of the most important developments in
document syntax in the history of computing. In the last few years it has been
adopted in fields as diverse as law, aeronautics, finance, insurance, robotics,
multimedia, hospitality, travel, art, construction, telecommunications,
software, agriculture, physics, journalism, theology, retail, and comics. XML
has become the syntax of choice for newly designed document formats across
almost all computer applications. It's used on Linux, Windows, Macintosh, and
many other computer platforms. Mainframes on Wall Street trade stocks with one
another by exchanging XML documents. Children playing games on their home PCs
save their documents in XML. Sports fans receive real-time game scores on their
cell phones in XML. XML is simply the most robust, reliable, and flexible
document syntax ever invented.
XML in a Nutshell is a
comprehensive guide to the rapidly growing world of XML. It covers all aspects
of XML, from the most basic syntax rules, to the details of DTD and schema
creation, to the APIs you can use to read and write XML documents in a variety
of programming languages. J2EE and XML are important technologies in their own right, but applications that use them together will benefit from their synergy. Java and J2EE make a powerful platform for building robust application logic. XML facilitates flexible data storage and manipulation. Properly using XML with J2EE, you can develop the most powerful enterprise systems that can be built today. This book shows you how. What's inside – Use XML in component interfaces, – Build XSLT and XSP presentation layers – Web Services using SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI – Learn to use Java APIs for XML, including JAXP, JAXB, JAXM – Understand XML technologies like XQuery, PDOM, XQL  The W3C's XML Schema offers a powerful set of tools for defining acceptable XML document structures and content. While schemas are powerful, that power comes with substantial complexity. This book explains XML Schema foundations, a variety of different styles for writing schemas, simple and complex types, datatypes and facets, keys, extensibility, documentation, design choices, best practices, and limitations. Complete with references, a glossary, and examples throughout.  The XML 1.1 Bible, 3rd Edition is your introduction to the exciting and fast-growing world of XML. With this book, you’ll learn how to write documents in XML and how to use style sheets to convert those documents into HTML so that legacy browsers can read them. You’ll also learn how to use document type definitions (DTDs) and schemas to describe and validate documents. You’ll encounter a variety of XML applications in many domains, ranging from finance to vector graphics to genealogy. And you’ll learn how to take advantage of XML for your own unique projects, programs, and web pages.
