Designed for the Delphi developer who wants to learn about XML, Delphi Developer’s Guide to XML, 2nd Edition, covers all aspects of utilizing the power of XML through the Delphi environment. This book provides a solid introduction to the technologies that make up XML and its related specifications. In-depth coverage of the Document Object Model (DOM) includes investigation of the basic specification and three implementations: Microsoft’s DOM, Open XML’s DOM, and Delphi’s Common DOM framework. Similarly, both Microsoft’s version and the SAX for Pascal implementation are described for the Simple API for XML (SAX). Generating XML documents is detailed using simple text, Delphi’s Web modules and XMLBroker, each of the DOMs, and SAX. Delphi’s XML tools are also examined: the XML Data Binding wizard, the XML Mapper tool, and the Web services wizards.
