Basic Knowledge about XML
When talking about XML, we may think of HTML. Actually, XML is similar to HTML both are tag-based languages. The difference between XML and HTML is that the tags which XML uses are not predefined. If we want to create own tags within XML, we need to follow a few rules.
Firstly, only one root element is contained in XML document. The root element is often taken as document element and appears after the prolog section. Besides, all the XML elements should contain end tags. Both start and end tag should be identical. Also, the elements can’t overlap. What’s more, all attribute values must use quotation marks and we can’t use some special characters within the text. After following the rules, the XML document will be well formatted.
