Introduction
|
|
************
|
|
|
|
The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a subset of SGML Its goal is to enable
|
|
generic SGML to be served, received, and processed on the Web in the way that
|
|
is now possible with HTML. XML has been designed for ease of implementation and
|
|
for interoperability with both SGML and HTML.
|
|
|
|
This library includes a set of Ada95 packages to manipulate XML input. It
|
|
implements the XML 1.0 standard (see the references at the end of this
|
|
document), as well as support for namespaces and a number of other optional
|
|
standards related to XML.
|
|
|
|
We have tried to follow as closely as possible the XML standard, so that you
|
|
can easily analyze and reuse languages produced for other languages.
|
|
|
|
This document isn't a tutorial on what XML is, nor on the various standards
|
|
like DOM and SAX. Although we will try and give a few examples, we refer the
|
|
reader to the standards themselves, which are all easily readable.
