What is xml
• XML stands for EXtensible Markup Language
• XML is a markup language much like HTML
• XML was designed to carry data, not to display
data
• XML tags are not predefined. You must define
your own tags
• XML is designed to be self-descriptive

XML Example
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<note>
<to>Tove</to>
<from>Jani</from>
<heading>Reminder</heading>
<body>Don't forget me this
weekend!</body>
</note>

XML is Not a Replacement for HTML
• XML is a complement to HTML.
• It is important to understand that XML is not a
replacement for HTML. In most web
applications, XML is used to transport data,
while HTML is used to format and display the
data.

XML schema
• The purpose of an XML Schema is to define the legal building
blocks of an XML document, just like a DTD.
• An XML Schema:
– defines elements that can appear in a document
– defines attributes that can appear in a document
– defines which elements are child elements
– defines the order of child elements
– defines the number of child elements
– defines whether an element is empty or can include text
– defines data types for elements and attributes
– defines default and fixed values for elements and attributes

XML Documents Form a Tree Structure
• XML documents must contain a root element.
This element is "the parent" of all other
elements.
• The elements in an XML document form a
document tree. The tree starts at the root and
branches to the lowest level of the tree.

• All elements can have sub elements (child
elements):
<root>
<child>
<subchild>.....</subchild>
</child>
</root>

XML Syntax Rules
• All XML Elements Must Have a Closing Tag
• XML Tags are Case Sensitive
• XML Elements Must be Properly Nested
• XML Documents Must Have a Root Element
• XML Attribute Values Must be Quoted
• White-space is Preserved in XML

XML Parsing
It is a software library (or a package) that
provides methods (or interfaces) for client
applications to work with XML documents
It checks the well-formattedness
It may validate the documents
It does a lot of other detailed things so that a
client is shielded from that complexities

• We will consider two parsing methods

SAX = Simple API for XML
DOM = Document Object Model

SAX
• XML is read sequentially

• When a parsing event happens, the parser
invokes the corresponding method of the
corresponding handler

DOM
• Parser creates a tree object out of the
document
• User accesses data by traversing the tree
– The tree and its traversal conform to a W3C
standard
• The API allows for constructing, accessing and
manipulating the structure and content of
XML documents

Parse an XML Document
• The following code fragment parses an XML
document into an XML DOM object
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else
{// code for IE6, IE5
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.open("GET","books.xml",false);
xmlhttp.send();
xmlDoc=xmlhttp.responseXML;

Parse an XML String
• The following code fragment parses an XML
string into an XML DOM object:
• txt="<bookstore><book>";
txt=txt+"<title>Everyday Italian</title>";
txt=txt+"<author>Giada De Laurentiis</author>";
txt=txt+"<year>2005</year>";
txt=txt+"</book></bookstore>";

if (window.DOMParser)
{
parser=new DOMParser();
xmlDoc=parser.parseFromString(txt,"text/xml");
}
else // Internet Explorer
{
xmlDoc=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
xmlDoc.async=false;
xmlDoc.loadXML(txt);
}

GladeXML
Object Hierarchy
This object represents an `instantiation' of an XML interface description.
When one of these objects is created, the XML file is read, and the
interface is created. The GladeXML object then provides an interface for
accessing the widgets in the interface by the names assigned to them
inside the XML description.

GObject +----
GladeXML

GladeXML

typedef struct {
GObject parent;
char *filename; }
GladeXML;

GladeXMLClass
typedef struct
{
GObjectClass parent_class;
/* Virtual function: gets the appropriate gtype for the typename.*/
GType (* lookup_type) (GladeXML*self, const char *gtypename);
} GladeXMLClass;
