XPath Essentials

by Andrew Watt

The first complete hands-on guide to programming with XPath
XPath is an important new technology that allows XML data to be restructured and displayed in virtually any other format, such as HTML. It is especially exciting for developers in the B2B arena in that it permits data to be exchanged between companies using different schemas (naming conventions). Written for developers, programmers, Webmasters, and IT/networking professionals, XPath Essentials provides readers with the practical, hands-on instruction they need to accomplish mission-critical tasks. Like all the books in the XML Essentials series, it takes an example-driven approach supplying source code to illustrate the practical application of XPath and its framework, syntax, semantics, and use.
