Both Java and XML are cross-platform technologies; by using Java for code and XML for transporting data, you can build truly portable applications. This title is aimed at intermediate to advanced programmers; while XML topics are explained more or less from scratch, readers will need prior knowledge of Java.<p> The book begins with an overview of XML and its uses, and goes on to explain how to parse XML by using the Simple API for XML (SAX 2). Next, there is coverage of how XML is validated by using Document Type Definitions (DTDs) and XML Schema, and transformed by using eXtensible Stylesheet Language (XSL). Brief coverage of Sun's Java API for XML is followed by a detailed look at the Java Document Object Model (JDOM), a new API devised by the author in association with O'Reilly, the publisher. <p> The last part of the book is more advanced, and covers applications of XML and Java. There are chapters on Web-publishing frameworks, XML Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs), using XML to read and write configuration data, and generating XML with Java. There is also a short business-to-business example. Appendices provide an API reference to the various specifications discussed in the book.<p> The strengths of <I>Java and XML</I> include the author's deep knowledge of his subject, and a writing style that is both clear and enthusiastic. If you happen to know a lot about Java and not much about XML, this is the ideal title. Readers who already have a good grasp of XML basics might be frustrated by the amount of introductory material. <I>--Tim Anderson</I> 592361 2000 Java and XML (O'Reilly Java Tools) total:10|5:2|4:1|3:3|2:1|1:3| 10 28 15 3 5 0 false false Wed Dec 31 11:45:47 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 31 11:47:00 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Sun Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue Jul 10 16:50:46 -0700 2007 Tue Jul 10 16:50:50 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Sat Jan 03 15:11:21 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 03 15:14:38 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Nov 11 09:52:13 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 11 09:52:13 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jul 03 01:15:28 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 03 01:15:28 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Sun Mar 29 19:22:15 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 29 19:22:15 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Mar 18 01:39:31 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 18 01:39:31 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Mar 02 22:02:25 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 02 22:02:25 -0800 2009 1 0 false false Sat Dec 06 08:53:42 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 06 08:53:42 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Mon Sep 08 16:19:33 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 08 16:19:33 -0700 2008 1 0 false false Fri Aug 08 23:53:53 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 08 23:53:53 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Thu Jul 17 10:55:48 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 17 10:55:58 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed May 28 13:49:17 -0700 2008 Wed May 28 13:49:17 -0700 2008 1 0 false false Sun Apr 27 14:55:06 -0700 2008 Sun Apr 27 14:55:06 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Sun Apr 13 22:28:40 -0700 2008 Sun Apr 13 22:28:40 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=605813
