XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a flexible way to create self- describing data—and to share both the format and the data on the World Wide Web, intranets, and elsewhere. In Learning XML, the authors explain XML and its capabilities succinctly and professionally, with references to real-life projects and other cogent examples. Learning XML shows the purpose of XML markup itself, the CSS and XSL styling languages, and the XLink and XPointer specifications for creating rich link structures.
