This book focuses on standards that are relevant to almost all developers working with XML. We investigate XML technologies that span a wide range of XML applications, not those that are relevant only within a few restricted domains. XML is not a programming language. It is a markup language; but it is successfully used by many programmers. The book also covers generic supporting technologies that have been layered on top of XML and are used across a wide range of XML applications. These technologies include XLinks, XSLT, Namespaces, Schemas, XHTML, RDDL, XPointers, XPath, SAX, and DOM.
