Product Description

XML, the Extensible Markup Language, is everywhere: the syntax of choice for newly designed document formats across almost all computer applications. Now used daily by developers, XML is living up to its reputation as one of the most important developments in document interchange in the history of computing.

A perennial bestseller, the handy XML Pocket Reference from O'Reilly has been revised once again to give you quick access to the latest goods. In addition to its comprehensive look at XML, this third edition has been updated with new material on Namespaces and XML Schema--considered among the most important elements in current XML use--along with RELAX NG and Schematron, additional powerful tools for describing XML document structures.

Like other titles in O'Reilly's Pocket Reference series, the XML Pocket Reference, 3rd Edition features a well-organized format that gets right to the point. As a result, it's already won over the allegiance of developers everywhere. If you need XML answers quick and on the fly, this compact book is most definitely the book for you.

2.0 out of 5 stars Beware! This book is mainly about XML-Schema, 27 Jan 2009

By	Ms. Mary Ellis "ellmc" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was disappointed that this 3rd edition had dropped many useful pages from the earlier edition. Of the 160 pages in this book:
70 are about XML-Schema
30 about an alternative Schema language called RelaxNG
10 more about yet another Schema language called Schematron
that leaves only 50 pages for the rest of XML.
The book does cover DTDs.
The section on XSL templates has been dropped. I could not find one example of how to link an XSL template to an XML document.
My other irritation is that I do not find these authors explanations of concepts like 'namespace' as easy to understand as those in the previous edition.
If you want a pocket reference book for XML Schema then this will do, but if you were hoping for a wider scope then you may be disappointed.
XML_Schema Pocket Reference would have been a better title.

1.0 out of 5 stars Nothing on XSL Templates, 28 Jan 2009

By	John Burns (London, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book contains absolutely nothing on XSL - XSL does not even occur in the index.

I own about 20 O'Reilly pocket references and this is the only one that collects dust.

This book could be so much better.

I'm guessing if XML schemas are your thing it may be somewhat useful.
