Organization and structuring (XML)
The course begins with an introduction to the structure of XML documents and their hierarchical structure. Students will learn how XML documents are organized by a tree structure consisting of a root, nodes and leaves. This structure enables a flexible and versatile representation of data that is both machine and human readable.
Another focus is on the definition and use of various XML components such as elements, attributes, entities and comments. Participants will learn how to:
- Define and use elements to encapsulate and organize data.
- Use attributes to add additional information to elements and extend the data description.
- Use entities to ensure reusability and consistency in XML documents.
- Insert comments to leave annotations and notes within XML documents to aid in development and maintenance.
