XML Processing with Perl & PHP
XML is an elegant solution to the problem of data portability. Like all breakthroughs, however, it gives rise to new challenges. With XML, you can store and structure data for seamless, cross-platform exchange-which is especially crucial in today's e-commerce environments. But XML does no processing itself. To leverage XML data, you need to use a programming language. XML Processing with Perl, Python, and PHP teaches you to reap the special advantages of processing your XML with these and four other scripting languages, which-as you'll see-trump C, C++, and Java in a variety of ways. Along this path lie shorter development times and lower costs. At its end lie performance benefits such as superior text processing, memory management, and data modeling capabilities, as well as strategic benefits such as greater longevity and broader compatibility. Master the execution of remote procedures, the internal modeling of XML data.

XML Processing with Python
When it comes to XML processing, Python is in a league of its own. If you're doing XML development without Python, you're wasting time! Python offers outstanding productivity especially in the areas that matter most to XML developers, such as XML parsing, DOM/SAX implementations, string processing, and Internet APIs. And now there's Pyxie the new open source library that makes Python XML processing even easier and more powerful. In XML Processing with Python, top XML developer Sean McGrath delivers the hands-on explanations and examples you need to get results with Python and Pyxie fast even if you've never used them before! Install Python and the Pyxie XML package. Learn the fundamentals of Python: control structures, classes, nested lists, dictionaries, and regular rexpresions. Process XML with regular expression-driven, event-driven, and tree-driven techniques. Understand Python's support for DOM and SAX APIs.

XML Programming
XML Programming Using the Microsoft XML Parser is written for programmers interested in XML development using Microsoft technologies. Coupling valuable discussion of the Microsoft XML parser, Windows platform, and XML development software with the numerous core XML technologies, including XSLT, XPATH, SAX, DOM, XML Schema, and SOAP, this book steps beyond the mainstream focus on the theoretical aspects of XML and actually demonstrates the concepts in a real-world development environment. Veteran authors and trainers Soo Mee Foo and Wei Meng Lee intersperse this survey of XML technologies with discussion of topics sure to interest any budding XML developer, providing timely information regarding Web services, ActiveX Data Objects (ADO), and Microsoft SQL Server 2000 XML support. A chapter is also devoted to the Wireless Markup Language (WML), one of today's most visible applications of XML technology.

XML Schema
The W3C's XML Schema Recommendation offers a powerful set of tools for defining XML document structures and content. XML Schema explains this toolkit of strongly-typed approaches with an object-oriented heritage. Building from that foundation, developers can create precise descriptions which both define acceptable content models and provide additional type information, making them more readily bound to programs and objects. You'll learn how XML Schema combines the easy interchange of text-based XML with the more stringent requirements of data exchange. This book covers: Foundations of XML Schema syntax; Flat, "russian-doll", and other schema approaches; Working with simple and complex types in a variety of contexts; The built-in datatypes provided by XML Schema; Using facets to extend datatypes, including regular expression-based patterns; Using keys and uniqueness rules to limit how and where information may appear; Creating extensible schemas.

XML Schema Essentials
Replacing XML DTDs (Document Type Definitions) as the way in which XML documents are described and validated, XML Schema allows you to describe the structure of information in an XML document and is essential for ensuring the accuracy and security of information in B2B transactions and other XML applications. Since XML Schema defines a greater and more complex set of datatypes than XML DTDs such as numbers, dates, times, and currencies -- it is an invaluable tool for e-commerce applications. XML Schema also offers more flexibility than XML DTDs, with its ability to have users define datatypes for data (for example, an "address" can be further refined as a "postal address," "billing address," or "shipping address") and its ability to validated documents based on namespaces, which allow for the disctinction between identical terms being used in different contexts. This guide uses extensive examples and source code to profide you with information.

XML Schemas
XML Schemas introduces you to this elegant new technology, which brings the power of data modeling and data structuring to XML. A truly practical book has to give you more than just the details on syntax and semantics, examples of constructs and datatypes, and instruction in standard procedures. You get all that, but you'll also find lots of expert tips and techniques for document modeling, all reinforced with practical, real-world examples. Even as you're discovering the advantages of XML Schema, you'll learn about the continuing use of DTDs. In some situations when designing document oriented XML, DTDs might still be the way to go. You'll learn about visual XML Schema tools, but you'll also see how setting out armed with just a text editor gives you insights you might not acquire otherwise. It won't be long before you're developing your own XML Schema documents, using the power of XML to structure data for seamless, cross-platform exchange.
