XML in JavaScript

WHAT'S IN THIS CHAPTER?

  • Examining XML DOM support in browsers
  • Understanding XPath in JavaScript
  • Using XSLT processors

At one point in time, XML was the standard for structured data storage and transmission over the Internet. The evolution of XML closely mirrored the evolution of web technologies, as the DOM was developed for use not just in web browsers but also in desktop and server applications for dealing with XML data structures. Many developers started writing their own XML parsers in JavaScript to deal with the lack of built-in solutions. Since that time, all browsers have introduced native support for XML, the XML DOM, and many related technologies.
