XML Examples

This directory contains examples of XML files. Some have schemas defined as DTD or XLD files. Some have style sheets specified by XLS files.

• Periodic elements has a simple xml file, allelements.xml (txt), with no associated schema. The xml file can be checked with a simple validaor to see if it is well-formed XML.
• The book example represents data about books and has a simple DTD schema (book.dtd). Note that since the book.xml (txt) file references the dtd schema, the validator uses it to check if it conforms.
• In the company example, company-data.xml (txt) also references a DTD schema, company.dtd, supporting validation.
• cdcatalog is an example that motivates the use of XML with style sheets. The native html version, cdcatalog.html (src) , just uses html to display a list of CDs. The file cdcatalog.xml (src) uses xml to represent the data and the style sheet cdcatalog.xsl (src) to transform it into html.
• The food example has a data file and a style sheet but no schema.
  • simple.xml: xml data with the XSL declaration
  • simple.xsl: the XSL transform
  • simpleNoXSL.xml: xml data without the XSL declaration

• ExpenseReport gives an example of a for expense reports, where
  • expensesNoXSL.xml is the raw data, i.e., the style sheet has been commented out
  • expenses.xml is the raw data with the style sheet
  • ExpReport.xsd is the XML schema file
  • ExpReport.xsl is the XSL tranform file
