Synopsis

Delphi Developer's Guide to XML, 2nd Edition explains how to apply the power and flexibility of Delphi to XML, the Extensible Markup Language. This title is targeted at Delphi developers who want to use the power of XML in their applications. XML and related specifications (including XPath, XSL, XSLT, and XML Schema) are transforming the Internet and business-to-business (B2B) communications, defining a data format that is platform- and language-independent. Standardized access to XML documents is provided via the Document Object Model (DOM) and Simple API for XML (SAX) specifications. These XML processors allow more efficient handling of documents as well as the ability to move information between platforms such as Microsoft Windows and Unix.

About this title

Synopsis

Designed for the Delphi developer who wants to learn about XML, this guide covers all aspects of utilising the power of XML through the Delphi environment. The book provides a solid introduction to the technologies that make up XML and its related specifications. In-depth coverage of the Document Object Model (DOM) includes investigation of the basic specification and three implementations: Microsoft's DOM, CUESoft's DOM, and Open XML's DOM. Similarly, both Microsoft's version and a native Delphi implementation are described for the Simple API for XML (SAX). Generating XML documents is detailed using simple text, Delphi's Web modules and XMLBroker, each of the DOMs, and SAX. Developing applications that make use of XML is also covered, including XSLT and SOAP examples. The CD includes the relevant specifications regarding XML, along with all the code from the book and various XML tools.
