Overview
Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple, very flexible text format designed to meet the challenges of large-scale electronic publishing but also playing an increasingly important role in the exchange of a wide variety of data on the Web and elsewhere. It is defined in the XML 1.0 Specification produced by the W3C, and several other related specifications, all gratis open standards. Many application programming interfaces (APIs) have been developed to aid software developers with processing XML data, and several schema systems exist to aid in the definition of XML-based languages. As of 2009, hundreds of document formats using XML syntax have been developed - both for technical usage scenarios as well as for data exchange between companies. This trainings provides an overview of the big family of XML technologies. Hands-on labs can be found in our other trainings presenting the same topics in more days and in greater depth. This training, however, makes use of presentations and prepared examples and case studies.
