Beginning XML

This manuscript is an abridged version of a chapter from the Wrox Press book Beginning XML. This chapter concentrates on well-formed XML and takes a look at attributes, comments, empty elements, processing instructions and parsing XML.

Beginning XML is for people who know that it would be a pretty good idea to learn the language, but aren't 100% sure why. Beginning XML covers everything from what XML is and why the industry felt that a language like this was needed, to creating 'well-formed' and valid XML documents and learning how to use them in real development environments.
