Additional Post 6: XML Training at SAITS

Just a little update on what I have been doing for a majority of my time at my mentorship.
I have just finished up a course regarding the programming language XML, which stands for eXtensible Markup Language. This language is commonly used among web-based languages like HTML. This is a unique type as it does absolutely nothing without another language to work with. XML works as a type of data storage and island for streamlining data output. It stores the information on a grid, with custom organization tags and attributes and can be accessed when called correctly. It uses a format called the DOM (Document Object Model) to organize its information, with tags, attributes, nodes and families. XML is paired up with various functions for verifying the data and such, such as XPath, XSLT (Extensible Stylsheet Language Transformations ), XML Schema, and DTD(Document Type Definitions).


How to Declare Elements

Example XSLT Template to convert XML data to pdfs or HTML (Stylesheet)

SAX (Simple API for XML) to verify XML data

XPath to reference for correct XML Data format

XSLT Graph

XML Notes


Soon, I will be working on a way to retrieve information from another application and storing it in an XML file with organized results at SAITS.
