商品描述

The arrival of support for XML--the Extensible Markup Language--in browsers and authoring tools has followed a long period of intense hype. Major databases, authoring tools (including Microsoft's Office 2000), and browsers are committed to XML support. Many content creators and programmers for the Web and other media are left wondering, "What can XML and its associated standards really do for me?" Getting the most from XML requires being able to tag and transform XML documents so they can be processed by web browsers, databases, mobile phones, printers, XML processors, voice response systems, and LDAP directories, just to name a few targets.

In Learning XML, the author explains 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.

The basic advantages of XML over HTML are that XML lets a web designer define tags that are meaningful for the particular documents or database output to be used, and that it enforces an unambiguous structure that supports error-checking. XML supports enhanced styling and linking standards (allowing, for instance, simultaneous linking to the same document in multiple languages) and a range of new applications.

For writers producing XML documents, this book demystifies files and the process of creating them with the appropriate structure and format. Designers will learn what parts of XML are most helpful to their team and will get started on creating Document Type Definitions. For programmers, the book makes syntax and structures clear It also discusses the stylesheets needed for viewing documents in the next generation of browsers, databases, and other devices.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

支援 XML(可擴展標記語言)的瀏覽器和編輯工具的到來,經過了一段長時間的炒作。主要的數據庫、編輯工具(包括微軟的 Office 2000)和瀏覽器都致力於支援 XML。許多網頁和其他媒體的內容創作者和程式設計師都在想,「XML 及其相關標準對我有什麼實際用途?」要充分利用 XML,需要能夠對 XML 文件進行標記和轉換,以便能夠被網頁瀏覽器、數據庫、手機、打印機、XML 處理器、語音響應系統和 LDAP 目錄等處理。

在《學習 XML》一書中,作者以簡潔專業的方式解釋了 XML 及其功能,並引用了實際項目和其他有力的例子。《學習 XML》展示了 XML 標記本身的目的,CSS 和 XSL 樣式語言,以及用於創建豐富鏈接結構的 XLink 和 XPointer 規範。

XML 相對於 HTML 的基本優勢在於,XML 允許網頁設計師定義對特定文件或數據庫輸出有意義的標籤,並強制執行一個明確的結構以支援錯誤檢查。XML 支持增強的樣式和鏈接標準(例如,同時鏈接到多種語言的同一個文件),以及一系列新應用。

對於製作 XML 文件的作者來說,本書對文件和創建具有適當結構和格式的過程進行了解說。設計師將了解 XML 的哪些部分對他們的團隊最有幫助,並開始創建文件類型定義。對於程式設計師來說,本書使語法和結構變得清晰,並討論了在下一代瀏覽器、數據庫和其他設備中查看文件所需的樣式表。
