What is XML?XML היא שפה תיאורית XML לתיאור סטנדרטית נועדה לספק דרך
משמעות מידע ומבנה מידע כאשר הוא מועבר בין מערכות )כאשר אותן מערכות יכולות
להיות גם דפדפנים, והמידע עצמו יכול להיות מסמכים, טבלאות, תוצאות שאילתא וכו'(.

HTML לבין XML ההבדל העיקרי בין
XML לא בא כדי להחליף את HTMLXML-ו HTMLפותחו למטרות שונות אחד מהשני XML על מה זה , ולהתמקדכדי להגדיר מידע פותח

HTML איך , ולהתמקד על להציג מידע פותח כדי. שהמידע נראה
HTML מידע, להציג נועד XML מידעלהגדיר נועד

XML הוא דינמי -אוסף התגים שעוזרים לך לעצב את מסמך הHTML ,שלך

its nature.
It can easily represent:

Introduction
Database processing and document processing need each other Database processing needs document processing for
expressing database views Document processing needs database processing for storing
and manipulating data
As Internet usage increased, organizations wanted to make their Web pages more functional by displaying and updating data from organizational databases
11
XML
XML, or Extensible Markup Language, developed in early 1990s
XML is a subset of SGML, or Standard Generalized Markup Language
Today XML is a hybrid of document processing and database processing
It provides a standardized yet customizable way to describe the content of documents
XML documents can automatically be generated from database data, and vice versa
SOAP is an XML-based standard protocol for sending messages of any type, using any protocol over the Internet
12
XML )cont.(
XML is used for describing, representing, and materializing database views
XML is better than HTML because It provides a clear separation between document structure, content, and
materialization It is standardized but allows for extension by developers XML tags accurately represent the semantics of their data
Document Type Declarations (DTDs) and XML Schemas can be used to describe the content of XML documents
Both Oracle and SQL Server can produce XML documents from database data
13
Example: XML Document
14
XML DTD
XML document consists of two sections: Document Type Declaration )DTD(
The DTD begins with DOCTYPE <document_type_name> Document data
XML documents could be Type-valid if the document conforms to its DTD Well-formed and not be type-valid, because
It violates the structure of its DTD It has no DTD
DTD may be stored externally so many documents can be validated against the same DTD
15
XSLT
XSLT, or the Extensible Style Language may be used to
materialize )transform( XML documents using XSL document From XML documents into HTML or into XML in another format
XSLT is a declarative transformation language Declarative: create rules, not procedure, to materialize the document
Transformational: transforms the input document into another document
XSLT uses stylesheets to indicate how to transform the elements of the XML document into another format
16
Example: External DTD
17
Example: XML Document
18
Example: XML HTML
19
Example: XML Browser
20
XML Schema
XML Schema is a standard for describing the content of an XML document, i.e., defining custom vocabularies
Documents that conform to an XML Schema are called schema-valid An XML document can be well-formed and be neither type-valid nor schema-valid
Unlike DTDs, XML Schema documents are themselves XML documents that can be validated against their schema maintained by W3C
21
Example: XML Schema
22
Example: XML Schema
23
Elements and Attributes Schemas consist of elements and attributes
Elements are used to carry data and attributes are used to carry metadata
Two types of elements: Simple elements have a single data value ComplexType elements can have one or more simple or
complexType elements ComplexType elements can have attributes
24
Flat Schemas Flat schemas have all elements at the same level
25
Structured Schemas
Structured schemas have defined subgroups
26
Global Elements
To eliminate the definition duplication, elements can be declared globally, i.e., reside at the top level of the schema, and then reused

XML Standards
XML: Extensible Markup Language XSL: XSLT Stylesheet. The document that provides the {match,
action} pairs and other data for XSLT to use when transforming an XML document
XSLT: A program that applies XSLT Stylesheets to an XML document to produce a transformed XML document
XML schema: An XML-compliant language for constraining the structure of an XML document
31
Additional XML Standards Xpath
A sublanguage within XSLT used to identify parts of an XML document to be transformed
Can also be used for calculations and string manipulation
Xpointer A standard for linking one document to another
SAX: Simple API )application program interface( for XML An event-based parser that notifies a program when the elements of an
XML document have been encountered during document parsing
32
Additional XML Standards )cont.( DOM: Document Object Model
An API that represents an XML document as a tree Each node of the tree represents a piece of the XML document A program can directly access and manipulate a node of the DOM representation
Xquery A standard for expressing database queries as XML documents The structure of the query uses XPath facilities, and the result of the query is
represented in an XML format XML Namespaces: A standard for allocating terminology to defined
collections X:Name is interpreted as the element Name as defined in namespace X Useful for disambiguating terms
33
Processing XML
Systems need to read XML data and process it.
Parser module. Types of parsers:
SAX DOM
34
The Parsers Role Allow the host application to read the data
stored in the XML elements. Validate the XML document. Construct an XML document or modify an
existing one.
35
SAX Parser
Reads the XML in a sequential way element by element.
Uses an event mechanism to notify the host application about each new element found.
Low use of resources.
36
SAX Events
Start Document End Document Start Element End Element Doc Characters XML Declaration
37
DOM Parser
Reads the XML document and constructs a matching Objects Tree in memory.
Provides a rich API for accessing the document objects randomly.
The main object is DOM node.
38
DOM Parser Cont.
Each element in the XML document is represented by a DOM node object.
The DOM node provides methods for retrieving the data it stores.
39
DOM Node Methods
The DOM Node object provides the following methods:
getNodeName)( getNodeType)( getNodeValue)( getChildNodes)( etc…
40
Parsers Comparison
SAX DOM
Speed Fast Slow
Resources Cheap Expensive
API Simple Rich
41
XML Functions eDeveloper provides a set of functions to
read XML data. The functions use a DOM parser module
called XERCES.
42
XML Functions Cont.
eDeveloper provides the following XML functions:
XMLGet)(XMLExists)(XMLFind)(XMLCnt)(
XMLDelete)(XMLInsert)(XMLModify)(XMLSetEncoding )(
43
XML Schema
Another standard from W3C. Constraining XML document structure and
contents. The Schema itself is an XML document. Used by parsers for validation purposes.
44
XML Schema Cont.
The XML Schema spec:http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-0/
45
XSL & XSLT
XSL: a style sheet for XML. XSLT: a transformation language for XML
documents. XSL FO: Formatting Objects for advanced
styling features.

The future of XML
The next release is XML 1.1 W3C continue developing other XML
based standards: Name Spaces in XML 1.1 Xinclude and more…
