The web server should be connected to databases it has to retrieve the data and the web server has to process it and format it into HTML and after that it has to be sent to the client. The users can increase the life of the servers by reducing the load on it by using XML and XSL. The extensible style sheet language is a style sheet format for XML documents which is the counterpart to the cascading style sheet in HTML, when the user sends XML and XSL to the client, the client creates HTML for the user the process of the server also becomes fast
"Your Web server has a tough job. It must connect to databases, retrieve data, process it, format it into HTML, and then send it to the client. Increase the life of your server by reducing the load on it using XML and XSL. The eXtensible Stylesheet Language (or XML) is a style-sheet format for XML documents that is the counterpart to the Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) in HTML. By sending the XML and XSL to the client, and having the client create the HTML for you, your server can spend time doing other things, like processing credit card

Last week on XML-DEV I suggested that there should be a competition with prize money to stimulate development of faster XML parsers suitable for high transaction work. Elliotte Harold even quoted my (not original) Open Source is not a free lunch, it is stone soup.
There are examples of industry consortia sponsoring such development: the OpenMP implementation contest for example. And groups such as OSDL offer fellowships to make sure strategic software is maintained.

Emerging XML technologies are available in the following categories on alphaWorks:
* Database - XML opens the door to a new generation of databases: object databases that can manage heterogeneous, non-tabular information. Relational databases manage a subset of XML, but XML is more general.
* DTDs - The XML Document Type Definition (DTD) defines the constraints on a specific class of XML documents. It is used by the XML parser to validate and interpret individual XML documents.
* Editors - XML is optimized for creating, editing, and viewing
In the previous column of this series, we discussed the usage model of Web Services Security (WSS) and introduced WSS4J, a Java-based API for WSS, a project we will be constructing through this series.
In this column, we start implementing the WSS4J API. The first section of this column discusses the role of different Java components in implementing the WSS4J API. One of the components is XML Security Suite for Java from IBM alphaWorks. The second section will provide a comprehensive tutorial demonstrating how to accomplish XML encryption using the
Introduction:
In recent times the landscape of APIs and techniques for processing XML has been reinvented as developers and designers learn from their experiences and some past mistakes. APIs such as DOM and SAX, which used to be the bread and butter of XML APIs, are giving way to new models of examining and processing XML. Although some of these techniques have become widespread among developers who primarily work with XML, they are still unknown to most developers. Nothing highlights this better than a recent article by Tim Bray, one of the
