    XML Parsers
    An XML parser is a program that can read an XML
    document and provide programmatic access to the
    document
    Two types of parsers:
    1) DOM based Document Object Model
    Constructs a tree that represents the
    document
    2) SAX based Simple API for XML
    Generates events when parts of the
    document are encountered.
    Can also be classified as push or pull parsers
    XML Characters
    Consist of carriage returns, line feeds
    and Unicode characters
    XML is either markup or text
    Markup is enclosed in < and >
    Character text is the text between a
    start and end tag
    Child elements are considered markup
    White Space
    Parsers consider whitespace inside
    text data to be significant and must
    pass it to an application
    An application can consider
    whitespace significant or insignificant.
    Normalization is the process in which
    whitespace is collapsed or removed
    Entities
    &, <, >, (apostrophe), and (double
    quote) are special characters and may
    not be used in character data directly
    To use these characters we code
    entity references which begin with an
    ampersand and end with a semicolon
    &amp; &lt; &gt; &apos;
    &quot;
    <mytag>David&apos;s
    Tag</mytag>
    Root Element
    <?xml version="1.0"?>

    <xs:schema>
    ...
    ...
    </xs:schema>
    Some Simple Data Types
    XML Schema has a lot of built-in data
    types, including:
    xs:string
    xs:decimal
    xs:integer
    xs:boolean
    xs:date
    xs:time

    Simple Elements
    Here are some XML elements:
    <lastname>Refsnes</lastname>
    <age>36</age>
    <dateborn>1970-03-27</dateborn>
    And here are the corresponding
    simple element definitions:
    <xs:element name="lastname" type="xs:string"/>
    <xs:element name="age" type="xs:integer"/>
    <xs:element name="dateborn" type="xs:date"/>
    Default and Fixed Values for Simple
    Elements
    Simple elements may have a default value OR a
    fixed value specified.
    A default value is automatically assigned to the
    element when no other value is specified.
    In the following example the default value is "red":
    <xs:element name="color" type="xs:string"
    default="red"/>
    A fixed value is also automatically assigned to the
    element, and you cannot specify another value.
    In the following example the fixed value is "red":
    <xs:element name="color" type="xs:string"
    fixed="red"/>
