The XML companion

Building on the success of the first edition of The XMLCompanion, Neil Bradley has updated this accessible, in-depth reference to release 1.0 of the XML standard to incorporate the results of the high degree of activity that has surrounded the standard since its release. This edition now contains the complementary standards that have been released, including detailed coverage of DOM 1.0, SAX 1.0, CSS 2 and NameSpaces 1.0, as well as describing the latest, most stable drafts of XSL & XSLT, Xlink & Xpointer.

The XML Companion:

• provides an accessible, comprehensive description of each XML feature
  
• does not assume experience of either HTML or SGML
  
• features a series of ‘Road Map' charts that reveal the structure of the XML standard
  
• contains an extensive glossary of XML and related terminology
  
• provides up-to-date coverage of all complementary standards
