Learning XML

Does anyone know of some good learning resources for XML?

XML is almost useless without the XSLT and the rendering engines behind it, that allow you to present your XML files as html, word doc, pdf, and what not ... 
The first guys to do it were Microsoft, with MSXML, in the times of IE 5 or later- they used Javascript or whatever they call it for their XSLT engine.
Mozilla was quick to catch up, and Firefox sports some xml parsing capabilities built-in, and even moe intriguing, the posibility to configure itself using XML- style files.
There are some XSLT engines written in Java, others written in C++, and maybe other languages as well (perl, python, ...)
Try to google XSLT (XML StyleSheet Language Transformation ?), FO (formatting-objects), xalan, xercess, you get the point ...

  • Need help in learning XML in the context of ABAP

    Experts,
    I am wondering if you can help me.
    I know abap (up to SAP 4.6c versions) but I know nothing about XML ( I am literally zero on XML). I want to learn XML in the contexts of ABAP programs in SAP Netweaver versions. I tied to google XML tutorials but information is overwhelmingly too much. I do not intend to become an XML expert but want to be able to learn XML only to the level where where I can use them in ABAP programs.
    Can you guide me if there is some step by step material / documents/ tutorial on internet which is not too much?
    Thanks

  • Resources to learn XML DB

    Hello Guys,
    For quite some time now, I have been trying to Learn XML DB features, but never managed to grasp the concepts.
    Currently, I am reading and trying to understand from XML DB 10.2 but still unable to understand. I understand that I am completely confused, probably much more of the thought in understanding internal of XML processing. Hence, I wondered if somebody could help me with Basic tutorials/Blogs that will help me start with a begineer's level and I can then move to Documentation to understand it in a better way.
    Any pointers are appreciated!!!
    Thanks,
    Purvesh.

    Also have a look at (besides of course the XMLDB Developers Guide):
    - The howto's and examples on http://www.liberidu.com/blog/index/ (www.xmldb.nl)
    - Odie's cool examples on http://odieweblog.wordpress.com/
    - A_Non's examples on http://anononxml.blogspot.nl/
    Start with the suggestions by Mark though. The Oracle by Example on the virtualbox environment might be enlightening.

  • Attempting to learn XML all over again...

    Okay, I’ve been at this for a good few hours now, but
    no matter how much I read the help, it doesn’t seem to want
    to work.
    I have some xml that I’ve managed to read in and am
    able to properly trace:
    <fruitBowl>
    <fruit name=”apples” colour=”red”
    seeds=”yes” />
    <fruit name=”pears”
    colour=”green” seeds=”yes” />
    <fruit name=”grapes”
    colour=”purple” seeds=”sometimes” />
    <fruit name=”blueberries”
    colour=”blue” seeds=”no” />
    </fruitBowl>
    Now, I want to be able to get the first fruit (and the next
    after, etc), and its attributes.
    Logically, I think I should be able to do this by going (or
    something similar):
    xmlListObject.child(0).attribute(“name”)
    But actionscript 3 seems to disagree. When I trace the above
    (and tracing "xmlList.Object.child(0)" ), I get a blank (which
    appears to be because the tag actually has no value).
    If I trace xmlListObject itself, I get my whole xml. If I
    trace xmlListObject.length(), it does return the right amount of
    children. But I can’t seem to isolate any 1 child and get an
    attribute from it.
    Any ideas?

    Ah, I’ve finally gotten it:
    <fruitBowl>
    <fruit name=”apples” colour=”red”
    seeds=”yes” />
    <fruit name=”pears” colour=”green”
    seeds=”yes” />
    <fruit name=”grapes”
    colour=”purple” seeds=”sometimes” />
    <fruit name=”blueberries”
    colour=”blue” seeds=”no” />
    </fruitBowl>
    From the xmlList that contains all of this, I first need to
    access its children (all the fruit nodes).
    xmlObject.children() will give me:
    <fruit name=”apples” colour=”red”
    seeds=”yes” />
    <fruit name=”pears” colour=”green”
    seeds=”yes” />
    <fruit name=”grapes”
    colour=”purple” seeds=”sometimes” />
    <fruit name=”blueberries”
    colour=”blue” seeds=”no” />
    Then to get the first element I can go:
    xmlObject.children()[0] (like in an array)
    <fruit name=”apples” colour=”red”
    seeds=”yes” />
    Finally to get an attribute ‘colour’:
    xmlObject.children()[0].attribute(“colour”);
    If there are better/other ways to do this, then feel free to
    comment.

  • XML response / Velocity template

    Hi everyone,
    I have a servlet which uses velocity engine to generate a soap request ,send it to a server and receive an xml response. How do I go about extracting the elements from the response and displaying them in a more readable format in a browser?
    Any help appreciated,
    Ruth

    you receive an XML reponse, so use an XML parser to prse and extarct the data you need.
    use sax for example to do this.

    Thanks, Scott Chang
    P. S.
    (1) I mimicked the xml file and SQL Qeury code of Import XML File to SQL Table in
    http://pratchev.blogspot.com/2008/11/import-xml-file-to-sql-table.html. The xml file and the code of this sample worked in my SSMS 2012 program.
    (2) I am learning the "CAST" and "CROSS APPLY" in the Create Instances of XML Data of Microsoft MSDN - it is very abstract to me.

    Hi Stan210, Thanks for your nice response.
    I corrected my xml file as you pointed out.
    I made some changes in some code statements of my SQLQueryW3BookTitle.sql as you instructed:
    --XQuery w3schools example using books1.xml in C:\Temp folder
    ---SQL Query W3books Title
    ---10 March 2015
    USE XML_XQUERY
    GO
    CREATE TABLE W3Books(
    BookID INt Primary Key,
    Title VARCHAR(30));
    INSERT INTO W3Books (BookID, Title)
    SELECT x.book.value('/BookID[1]', 'INT'),
    x.book.value('/title[1]', 'VARCHAR(30)')
    FROM (
    SELECT CAST(x AS XML)
    FROM OPENROWSET(
    BULK 'C:\Temp\books1.xml',SINGLE_BLOB) AS T(x)
    ) AS T(x)
    CROSS APPLY x.nodes('bookstore/book') AS x(book);
    SELECT BookID, Title
    FROM W3Books;
    I executed my revised sql and I got the following Message and Results:
    Msg 515, Level 16, State 2, Line 6
    Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'BookID', table 'XML_XQUERY.dbo.W3Books'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.
    The statement has been terminated.
    (0 row(s) affected)
    Results:
    BookID    Title
    I don't know why I just got the names of columns in Results and the "Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'BookID', table 'XML_XQUERY.dbo.W3Books'; column does not allow nulls, insert fails." in Messages.  Please kindly help, advise me
    how to correct the errors and respond again.
    Many Thanks again,
