XML Application Development
In this book, leading XML developer Lars Marius Garshol covers every essential aspect of XML programming, from basic principles through advanced techniques, utilizing DOM, SAX, XSLT, XPath, schemas, and other key XML standards. Garshol presents scores of code examples based on Python, a cross-platform language that is exceptionally well suited for XML development. Garshol also presents new insights into XML application design and optimization, as well as complete sample applications. Coverage includes: XML for programmers: the XML processing model, namespaces, parsing, document views; Serialization/deserialization, translation, validation, modification, and information extraction; SAX event-based processing: basic techniques, data structures, sample applications, tips, tricks, optimization, and advanced APIs; Event-based alternatives to SAX: native XML parser APIs of Pyexpat, xmlproc, xmllib, and XP; XML DOM tree based processing.
