Appendix A Creating Markup with XML 1621 In Fig. A.5, two distinct file elements are differentiated using namespaces. Lines 6– 7 use the XML namespace keyword xmlns to create two namespace prefixes: text and image. The values assigned to attributes xmlns:text and xmlns:image are called Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs). By definition, a URI is a series of characters used to differentiate names. To ensure that a namespace is unique, the document author must provide a unique URI. Here, we use the text urn:deitel:textInfo and urn:deitel:imageInfo as URIs. A common practice is to use Universal Resource Locators (URLs) for URIs, because the domain names (e.g., deitel.com) used in URLs are guaranteed to be unique. For example, lines 6–7 could have been written as <directory xmlns:text = "http://www.deitel.com/xmlns-text" xmlns:image = "http://www.deitel.com/xmlns-image"> where we use URLs related to the Deitel & Associates, Inc., domain name (www.deitel.com). These URLs are never visited by the parser—they only represent a series of characters for differentiating names and nothing more. The URLs need not even exist or be properly formed. Lines 9–11 use the namespace prefix text to describe elements file and description. Notice that end tags have the namespace prefix text applied to them as well. Lines 13–16 apply namespace prefix image to elements file, description and size. 9 <text:file filename = "book.xml"> 10 <text:description>A book list</text:description> 11 </text:file> 12 13 <image:file filename = "funny.jpg"> 14 <image:description>A funny picture</image:description> 15 <image:size width = "200" height = "100"/> 16 </image:file> 17 18 </text:directory> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!

Figure A.6 demonstrates the use of default namespaces. We declare a default namespace using the xmlns attribute with a URI as its value (line 6). Once this default namespace is in place, child elements that are part of the namespace do not need a namespace prefix. Element file (line 9) is in the namespace corresponding to the URI urn:deitel:textInfo. Compare this usage with that in Fig. A.5, where we prefixed the file and description elements with the namespace prefix text (lines 9–11). The default namespace applies to all elements contained in the directory element. However, we may use a namespace prefix to specify a different namespace for particular 1 <?xml version = "1.0"?> 2 3 <! Fig. A.6 : defaultnamespace.xml > 4 <!

For example, the file element on line 13 uses the prefix image to indicate that the element is in the namespace corresponding to the URI urn:deitel:imageInfo.

SUMMARY • XML is a technology for creating markup languages to describe data of virtually any type in a structured manner. • XML allows document authors to describe data precisely by creating their own tags. Markup languages can be created using XML for describing almost anything. • XML documents are commonly stored in text files that end in the extension .xml . Any text editor can be used to create an XML document. Many software packages allow data to be saved as XML documents. • The XML declaration specifies the version to which the document conforms. • All XML documents must have exactly one root element that contains all of the other elements. • To process an XML document, a software program called an XML parser is required. The XML parser reads the XML document, checks its syntax, reports any errors and allows access to the document’s contents. • An XML document is considered well formed if it is syntactically correct (i.e., the parser did not report any errors due to missing tags, overlapping tags, etc.). Every XML document must be well formed. 1624 Creating Markup with XML Appendix A • Parsers may or may not support the Document Object Model (DOM) and/or the Simple API for XML (SAX) for accessing a document’s content programmatically by using languages such as Ja- va, Python and C. • XML documents may contain: carriage return, the line feed and Unicode characters. Unicode is a standard that was released by the Unicode Consortium in 1991 to expand character representation for most of the world’s major languages. The American Standard Code for Information Inter- change (ASCII) is a subset of Unicode. • Markup text is enclosed in angle brackets (i.e., < and >). Character data are the text between a start tag and an end tag. Child elements are considered markup—not character data. • Spaces, tabs, line feeds and carriage returns are whitespace characters. In an XML document, the parser considers whitespace characters to be either significant (i.e., preserved by the parser) or insignificant (i.e., not preserved by the parser). • Almost any character may be used in an XML document. However, the characters ampersand (&) and left-angle bracket (<) are reserved in XML and may not be used in character data, except in CDATA sections. Angle brackets are reserved for delimiting markup tags. The ampersand is reserved for delimiting hexadecimal values that refer to a specific Unicode character. These expres- sions are terminated with a semicolon (;) and are called entity references. The apostrophe and double-quote characters are reserved for delimiting attribute values. • XML provides built-in entities for ampersand (&), left-angle bracket (<), right-angle bracket (>), apostrophe (') and quotation mark ("). • All XML start tags must have a corresponding end tag and all start- and end tags must be properly nested. XML is case sensitive, therefore start tags and end tags must have matching capitalization. • Elements define a structure. An element may or may not contain content (i.e., child elements or character data). Attributes describe elements. An element may have zero, one or more attributes associated with it. Attributes are nested within the element’s start tag. Attribute values are enclosed in quotes—either single or double. • XML element and attribute names can be of any length and may contain letters, digits, under- scores, hyphens and periods; and they must begin with either a letter or an underscore. • A processing instruction’s (PI’s) information is passed by the parser to the application using the XML document. Document authors may create their own processing instructions. Almost any name may be used for a PI target except the reserved word xml (in any mixture of case). Process- ing instructions allow document authors to embed application-specific data within an XML document. This data are not intended to be readable by humans, but readable by applications. • CDATA sections may contain text, reserved characters (e.g., <), words and whitespace characters. XML parsers do not process the text in CDATA sections. CDATA sections allow the document author to include data that is not intended to be parsed. CDATA sections cannot contain the text ]]>. • Because document authors can create their own tags, naming collisions (e.g., conflicts that arise when document authors use the same names for elements) can occur. Namespaces provide a means for document authors to prevent naming collisions. Document authors create their own namespaces. Virtually any name may be used for a namespace, except the reserved namespace xml. • A Universal Resource Identifier (URI) is a series of characters used to differentiate names. URIs are used with namespaces.

Molière 1628 Document Type Definition (DTD) Appendix B B.1 Introduction In this appendix, we discuss Document Type Definitions (DTDs), which define an XML document’s structure (e.g., what elements, attributes, etc. are permitted in the document). An XML document is not required to have a corresponding DTD. However, DTDs are often recommended to ensure document conformity, especially in business-to-business (B2B) transactions, where XML documents are exchanged. DTDs specify an XML document’s structure and are themselves defined using EBNF (Extended Backus-Naur Form) grammar—not the XML syntax introduced in Appendix A. B.2 Parsers, Well-Formed and Valid XML Documents Parsers are generally classified as validating or nonvalidating. A validating parser is able to read a DTD and determine whether the XML document conforms to it. If the document conforms to the DTD, it is referred to as valid. If the document fails to conform to the DTD but is syntactically correct, it is well formed, but not valid. By definition, a valid document is well formed. A nonvalidating parser is able to read the DTD, but cannot check the document against the DTD for conformity. If the document is syntactically correct, it is well formed. In this appendix, we use a Java program we created to check a document conformance. This program, named Validator.jar, is located in the Appendix B examples directory. Validator.jar uses the reference implementation for the Java API for XML Pro- cessing 1.1, which requires crimson.jar and jaxp.jar.

A document type declaration is placed in the XML document’s prolog (i.e., all lines preceding the root element), begins with <!DOCTYPE and ends with >. The document type declaration can point to declarations that are outside the XML document (called the external subset) or can contain the declaration inside the document (called the internal subset). For example, an internal subset might look like <!DOCTYPE myMessage [ <!ELEMENT myMessage ( #PCDATA )> ]> The first myMessage is the name of the document type declaration. Anything inside the square brackets ([]) constitutes the internal subset. As we will see momentarily, ELE- MENT and #PCDATA are used in “element declarations.” External subsets physically exist in a different file that typically ends with the.dtd extension, although this file extension is not required. External subsets are specified using either keyword the keyword SYSTEM or the keyword PUBLIC. For example, the DOC- TYPE external subset might look like <!DOCTYPE myMessage SYSTEM "myDTD.dtd"> which points to the myDTD.dtd document. The PUBLIC keyword indicates that the DTD is widely used (e.g., the DTD for HTML documents). The DTD may be made available in well-known locations for more efficient downloading. We used such a DTD in Chapters 9 and 10 when we created XHTML documents. The DOCTYPE <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> uses the PUBLIC keyword to reference the well-known DTD for XHTML version 1.0. XML parsers that do not have a local copy of the DTD may use the URL provided to down- load the DTD to perform validation. Both the internal and external subset may be specified at the same time. For example, the DOCTYPE <!DOCTYPE myMessage SYSTEM "myDTD.dtd" [ <!ELEMENT myElement ( #PCDATA )> ]> contains declarations from the myDTD.dtd document, as well as an internal declaration. Software Engineering Observation B.1 The document type declaration’s internal subset plus its external subset form the DTD. 0.0 Software Engineering Observation B.2 The internal subset is visible only within the document in which it resides. Other external documents cannot be validated against it. DTDs that are used by many documents should be placed in the external subset. 0.0 1630 Document Type Definition (DTD) Appendix B B.4 Element Type Declarations Elements are the primary building blocks used in XML documents and are declared in a DTD with element type declarations ( ELEMENTs). For example, to declare element myMessage, we might write <!ELEMENT myElement ( #PCDATA )> The element name (e.g., myElement) that follows ELEMENT is often called a generic identifier. The set of parentheses that follow the element name specify the element’s al- lowed content and is called the content specification. Keyword PCDATA specifies that the element must contain parsable character data. These data will be parsed by the XML parser, therefore any markup text (i.e., <, >, &, etc.) will be treated as markup. We will discuss the content specification in detail momentarily. Common Programming Error B.1 Attempting to use the same element name in multiple element type declarations is an error.0.0 Figure B.1 lists an XML document that contains a reference to an external DTD in the DOCTYPE. We use Validator.jar to check the document’s conformity against its DTD. The document type declaration (line 6) specifies the name of the root element as MyMessage. The element myMessage (lines 8–10) contains a single child element named message (line 9). Line 3 of the DTD (Fig. B.2) declares element myMessage. Notice that the content specification contains the name message. This indicates that element myMessage contains exactly one child element named message. Because myMessage can have only an element as its content, it is said to have element content. Line 4, declares element message whose content is of type PCDATA. Common Programming Error B.2 Having a root element name other than the name specified in the document type declaration is an error. 0.0 If an XML document’s structure is inconsistent with its corresponding DTD, but is syntactically correct, the document is only well formed—not valid. Figure B.3 shows the messages generated when the required message element is omitted. 1 <?xml version = "1.0"?> 2 3 <! Fig. B.1: welcome.xml > 4 <!
