Simon sprott  who is the author of this article gives us an insight into xml data binding. His article describes how XML data binding guides in managing Xml documents using a collection of simple objects. An XML schema is used for formulation of the rules to define its shape. Generally, an XML document can be read into an XML library and manipulated through simple get and set methods in programming. Similarly, the converse is true. i. e XML data binding library can be the source. This means that a document can be created and serialized as an

Let's suppose that you have an XML document and you need to process its data in a compiling language, such as C or C++. In such a case, you would have to create a program that would automatically parse the requested documents, basing on their structure. XSD from CodeSynthesis comes to help the programmer work with XML data structures by automating the process of creation of code by creating the required C++ classes from an XML instance specification file. By using CodeSynthesis XSD, you can easily create programs that work directly

"When Internet Explorer 5.0 was first shipped in 1998, Microsoft shipped an implementation of XSL that was based on the current working draft of XSL at that time. Millions of copies of this XML/XSL processor were burned on CDs and were installed on systems all around the world. Since then, the XSLT specification changed very significantly (even the namespace changed!) and was finalized. So the situation as it is today (12/4/2000) is that there are millions of copies of a parser out there which does not (by default) support the latest XSLT

Think about how many times a day you use forms, electronic or otherwise. On the Web, forms have become commonplace for search engines, polls, surveys, electronic commerce, and even on-line applications. Nearly all user interaction on the Web is through forms of some sort. This ubiquitous technology, however, is showing its age. It predates XML by half a decade, which is a contributing factor to some of its limitations: Poor integration with XML Limited features make even common tasks dependent on scripting Device dependent, running well only on

XML data binding refers to the process of representing the information in an XML document as an object in computer memory. This allows applications to access the data in the XML from the object rather than using the DOM to retrieve the data from a direct representation of the XML itself. An XML data binder accomplishes this by creating a mapping between elements of the XML schema of the document we wish to bind and members of a class to be represented in memory. When this process is applied to convert an XML document to an object, it is called

Unlike the original HTML forms, the creators of XForms have used a Model-View-Controller approach. The "model" consists of one or more XForms models describing form data, constraints upon that data, and submissions. The "view" describes what controls appear in the form, how they are grouped together, and what data they are bound to. CSS can be used to describe a form's appearance. An XForms document can be as simple as an HTML form (by only specifying the submission element in the model section, and placing the controls in the body), but XForms

After a number of internal and published requirements documents, the first XForms draft specification was published on April 6, 2000. The title of this document, "Datamodeling Proposal for XForms," gave a strong hint about how undeveloped this initial effort was. In fact, the final versions of the XForms specification bear no resemblance at all to this first attempt. Why was this? At the time the initial XForms Working Draft was under development, another W3C specification called "XML Schema" was gradually progressing through the W3C channels. In

HTML is probably the world's most important data format, and so changes come very slowly. But the World Wide Web Consortium's HTML Working Group has big plans for HTML. The current HTML standard is actually now XHTML 1.0 Second Edition, which is a set of minor changes to HTML to turn it into valid XML while still allowing current Web browsers to handle it. The big news is XHTML 2.0, a from-the-ground-up rethinking of HTML that keeps its strengths while ditching some long-standing stupidities or legacy items. It will not be fully backward-compatible

XForms Yesterday I played with XForms. I have not yet taken the time to read the specification. Instead, I used some examples I found at Bugzilla and the Mozilla XForms project site. Not really the correct way to learn new things, especially since the implementation has some bugs and I might end up thinking such a bug is actually the correct behavior. (Anyone seeing the similarities with the CSS implementation in Internet Explorer? Take the box model for a good example.) Although I still think XForms is rather complex and could have used some

[April 29, 2005] First Public Working Draft for XML Linking Language (XLink) Version 1.1. The W3C XML Core Working Group has produced a First Public Working Draft for XML Linking Language (XLink) Version 1.1 and requests feedback from W3C Members and other interested parties. XLink Version 1.0 was approved as a W3C Recommendation in June 2001. The XLink Version 1.1 Working Draft defines mechanisms to allow markup constructs "to be inserted into XML documents in order to create and describe links between resources. It uses XML syntax to create

XML was designed to describe data and to focus on what data is. HTML was designed to display data and to focus on how data looks. What You Should Already Know Before you continue you should have a basic understanding of the following: * HTML / XHTML * JavaScript or VBScript If you want to study these subjects first, find the tutorials on our Home page. What is XML? * XML stands for EXtensible Markup Language * XML is a markup language much like HTML * XML was designed to describe data * XML tags are not predefined. You must define

Standards: XKMS (XML Key Management Specification): The XKMS (XML Key Management Specification) provides a standard XML-based messaging protocol by which application developers can outsource the processing of key management to dedicated services. XKMS provides syntax by which applications can request the registration, revocation, revocation, and validation of public/private key pairs — these used in the cryptographic algorithms that enable encryption and digital signing. Why is it needed? XKMS will provide an alternative interface by which

[July 12, 2004] W3C Releases Public Working Draft for Full-Text Searching of XML Text and Documents. W3C has published an initial Public Working Draft for XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Full-Text. Created as a joint specification by the W3C XML Query Working Group and the XSL Working Group as part of the XML Activity, this new draft specification defines a language that extends XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 with full-text search capabilities. As defined by the draft, "full-text queries are performed on text which has been tokenized, i.e., broken into a

History: In its appendix of references, XML Schema acknowledges the influence of DTD and other early XML schema efforts such as DDML, SOX, XML-Data, and XDR. It appears to have picked pieces from each of these proposals, but is also a compromise among them. Of those languages, XDR and SOX continued to be used and supported for a while after XML Schema was published. A number of Microsoft products supported XDR until the release of MSXML 4.0 (which dropped XDR in favor of XML Schema) in October 2001. Commerce One, Inc. supported its SOX schema

The purpose of an XML Schema is to define the legal building blocks of an XML document, just like a DTD. An XML Schema: 1.defines elements that can appear in a document 2.defines attributes that can appear in a document 3.defines which elements are child elements 4.defines the order of child elements 5.defines the number of child elements 6.defines whether an element is empty or can include text 7.defines data types for elements and attributes 8.defines default and fixed values for elements and attributes XML Schemas are the

Schema component is the generic term for the building blocks that comprise the abstract data model of the schema. An XML Schema is a set of ·schema components·. There are 13 kinds of component in all, falling into three groups. Primary Components: The primary components, which may (type definitions) or must (element and attribute declarations) have names are as follows: 1.Simple type definitions 2.Complex type definitions 3.Attribute declarations 4.Element declarations Secondary Components: The secondary components, which must have

W3C Schema can quickly become complex and difficult to determine if they are validating the correct vocabulary. The addition of embedded Schematron schema only makes this problem worse. Schema Unit Test (SUT) introduces a framework for testing XML Schema. This framework has two parts. The first is a namespace and vocabulary for embedding test cases into sample XML documents, designed to highlight what is legal and what is not legal in the vocabulary defined in the schema under test. This aspect is independent of what schema language is used and
