Description:

If you're a developer working with XML, you know there's a lot to know
about XML, and the XML space is evolving almost moment by moment. But you
don't need to commit every XML syntax, API, or XSLT transformation to memory;
you only need to know where to find it. And if it's a detail that has to do
with XML or its companion standards, you'll find it--clear, concise, useful,
and well-organized--in the updated third edition of XML in a Nutshell.
With XML in a Nutshell beside your keyboard, you'll be able to:

Quick-reference syntax rules and usage examples for the core XML
technologies, including XML, DTDs, Xpath, XSLT, SAX, and DOM
Develop an understanding of well-formed XML, DTDs, namespaces, Unicode,
and W3C XML Schema
Gain a working knowledge of key technologies used for narrative XML
documents such as web pages, books, and articles technologies like XSLT,
Xpath, Xlink, Xpointer, CSS, and XSL-FO
Build data-intensive XML applications
Understand the tools and APIs necessary to build data-intensive XML
applications and process XML documents, including the event-based Simple API
for XML (SAX2) and the tree-oriented Document Object Model (DOM)
This powerful new edition is the comprehensive XML reference. Serious
users of XML will find coverage on just about everything they need, from
fundamental syntax rules, to details of DTD and XML Schema creation, to XSLT
transformations, to APIs used for processing XML documents. XML in a
Nutshell also covers XML 1.1, as well as updates to SAX2 and DOM Level 3
coverage. If you need explanation of how a technology works, or just need to
quickly find the precise syntax for a particular piece, XML in a
Nutshell puts the information at your fingertips. Simply put,
XML in a Nutshell is the critical, must-have reference for any XML
developer.
