XML Examples

This lesson is part of XML · All levels

Summary

The XML example page shows real-world XML applications, ranging from RSS feeds, SOAP messages, WSDL service descriptions, SVG graphics, to application configurations. The same pattern applies to everything: define meaningful elements, validate them with DTD or schematics, then process them with a parser. Because the principles are identical, understanding one format helps you read another format quickly.

Key points

XML is used for feeds, service messages, configurations, and vector graphics
Each format has its own namespace that defines its elements.
DTD or XSD validation ensures that the document follows the intended format
Small examples are easier to learn than reading the full specification
DOM, SAX, or pull parser selected according to memory requirements
