XML
Are you ready to define database XML schemas, or maybe create directory services web XML schemas? XML is the fast becoming the lingua franca of enterprise computing -- which makes the ability to develop XML programs essential for software developers. At Developers.net we give you a complete XML development resource: authoring tools, tutorials, downloads, XML code samples, training, white papers, and news -- everything you need to stay in the know about the XML specification.

XML Articles
To model a relational structure in a hierarchical form, some workarounds have to be used to handle situations that are too complex to be modeled directly in a parent-child hierarchy. Thus the first step is to decide what the document's root element should be. more>
When creating your XML Schema from relational data, each column that contains information you want to model in your schema must have a corresponding data point declaration. There are two ways of doing this. more>
XML: You can use either elements or attributes to model relational data in XML, but unless you have some compelling reason not to, it is more efficient to use attributes for the data points. More on xml data management and xml attributes more>

XML Tutorials
XQuery has been around for more than a year. Based on the large number of implementations and developer interest, the web community is finally incorporating XQuery into its web development toolset. Perhaps web developers have begun to fully realize the powerful combination of XQuery with other XML technologies such as XML schema, XSLT, and XML databases. This free tutorial will teach you how to extend XQuery beyond its intended use stricting as an XML query language and instead utilize it for middleware and Web application development. Start this XQuery web application tutorial now.
more>Throughout the history of web development, developers have created many different methods and frameworks for separating out business and data logic from presentation logic. In this free tutorial, we will try out two different solutions for the separation of data and business layer from the presentation layer. One method will be using a PHP 5 module called SimpleXML, and the other technique will be using the XSL module and XSLT. The sample web application will be a resume stored in XML format. Start the PHP 5 XSLT and SimpleXML tutorial now.

You will learn how to configure the client Ajax application to communicate with the Web service via XML while these are served from a WebSphere Application Server.
