XPath

XPath is used to navigate through elements and attributes in an XML document. XPath is a major element in W3C's XSLT standard - and XQuery and XPointer are both built on XPath expressions.
XPath is a language for finding information in an XML document.

XSL-FO

XSL-FO is about formatting XML data for output. Styling is both about transforming and formatting information. When the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) made their first XSL Working Draft, it contained the language syntax for both transforming and formatting XML documents.

Later, the Working Group at W3C split the original draft into separate Recommendations:

XSLT, a language for transforming XML documents
XSL or XSL-FO, a language for formatting XML documents
XPath, a language for navigating in XML documents

Example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">

<fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="A4">

</fo:simple-page-master>
</fo:layout-master-set>

<fo:page-sequence master-reference="A4">

</fo:page-sequence>

</fo:root>

XQuery

XQuery is to XML what SQL is to database tables. XQuery is designed to query XML data - not just XML files, but anything that can appear as XML, including databases.

XQuery Example

We will use the following XML document in the examples below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

XLink and XPointer

XLink defines a standard way of creating hyperlinks in XML documents. XPointer allows the hyperlinks to point to more specific parts in the XML document.

XML DOM

The XML DOM defines a standard way for accessing and manipulating XML documents. The DOM presents an XML document as a tree-structure. The XML DOM defines a standard for accessing and manipulating XML.

XML DOM Parser

Most browsers have a built-in XML parser to read and manipulate XML. The parser converts XML into a JavaScript accessible object (the XML DOM).

XSLT

XSLT debugging in Visual Studio

XSL stands for EXtensible Stylesheet Language, and is a style sheet language for XML documents.
XSLT stands for XSL Transformations.
