"Molly Holzschlag asked me if I’d try and clearly and simply explain why XML parsing is advantageous and why XHTML still is relevant. This was my answer."

We just added external resource loading to our Flash indexing capabilities. This means that when a SWF file loads content from some other file—whether it's text, HTML, XML, another SWF, etc.—we can index this external content too, and associate it with the parent SWF file and any documents that embed it.

What is Shindig? Shindig is a container for hosting social application consisting of four parts: * Gadget Container JavaScript: core JavaScript foundation for general gadget functionality (read more about gadget functionality). This JavaScript manages security, communication, UI layout, and feature extensions, such as the OpenSocial API. * Gadget Rendering Server: used to render the gadget XML into JavaScript and HTML for the container to expose via the container JavaScript. * OpenSocial Container JavaScript: JavaScript environment that sits on top of the Gadget Container JavaScript and provides OpenSocial specific functionality (profiles, friends, activities, datastore). * OpenSocial Data Server: an implementation of the server interface to container-specific information, including the OpenSocial REST APIs, with clear extension points so others can connect it to their own backends. Shindig is the reference implementation of OpenSocial API specifications, a standard set of Social Network APIs which includes: * Profiles * Relationships * Activities * Shared applications * Authentication * Authorization

Des manipulations XML (parsing, validation de schéma, transformation) jusqu'à 10 fois plus rapides qu'avec les classiques Xalan/Xerces

Contrairement à une idée reçue assez répandue, l'usage de JSON à la place de XML pour optimiser les performances d'Ajax n'est peut-être pas si pertinent que ça...

Alejandro Gervasio publie un dossier bientôt complet sur les manipulations de noeuds XML via l'extension DOM. DOM est une des API de PHP pour manipuler des documents XML : elle permet l'ajout, le retrait ou la modification de noeuds, avec une gamme impressionnante de fonctions. Si vaste, cette gamme, qu'il est parfois difficile de comprendre comment on va faire pour réaliser certaines opérations simples.

A simple PHP HTML DOM parser written in PHP5 . I wrote it is because using PHP DOM XML library to parse HTML is really a pain. The origional idea is from Jose Solorzano's HTML Parser for PHP 4.

This page is offered as a reference library to common (and uncommon) industry and cross-industry schemas.

Server-based solutions, implemented with Flash, JavaScript or pure CSS, offer a more flexible alternative. In fact, since Flash offers significant advantages over static data presentation with CSS and JavaScript, most solutions use it for dynamic data visualization. The data itself is often stored in XML-files which are loaded and updated via PHP or ASP. The price range varies enormously — depending on the flexibility and level of customization you’d like to have. However, if you don’t want to pay, you don’t have to — there are powerful free solutions as well.

Orbeon Forms is an open source forms solution that handles the complexity of forms typical of the enterprise or government.

The essence of ESB.NET is that it’s message based services rather than just XML document centric or RPC style. It is Data and Business Service oriented as opposed to Technical feature Oriented. Approach is to add value to the Business spectrum.

People want to know how easy it is to convert from the kind of XML they generate into other purposes. So I loaded a simple HTML file with headings, paragraph, table and list and converted it to various office XML(ish) formats: HTML (through Word 2000), WordML (through Word 2003), pre-standard ODF (SWT, through Open Office 2.0.2), ODF (through Open Office 2.0.2), as XML from the Office 2007 beta, and to XSL-FO using HTML2FO.

ActiveGrid est un environnement de réalisation d’applications WEB totalement intégré qui repose entièrement sur les standards XML les plus récents : BPEL, XForms, WSDL, XML Schema, XACML. L’offre d’ActiveGrid est composée d’un builder et d’un server, tout ça dans une architecture LAMP (le P devant se comprendre essentiellement pour Python).

JAXFront is a technology to generate forms on multiple UI channels (Java Swing, HTML, PDF) on the basis of an XML schema. The dynamically generated GUIs allow the user a sophisticated way of editing XML data without being exposed to the underlying XML technology.

XSLT 2.0 and XQuery 1.0 have been developed by two Working Groups in close collaboration, and there is a high degree of overlap in the functionality of the two languages. They share many common concepts, such as the underlying data model, and they both include the whole of XPath 2.0 as a sublanguage, together with its extensive repertoire of data types and the associated function library.

A site built to web standards should adhere to standards (HTML, XHTML, XML, CSS, XSLT, DOM, MathML, SVG etc) and pursue best practices (valid code, accessible code, semantically correct code, user-friendly URLs etc)

There is a need for a tool which can record user actions on firefox. Save the recording to an xml file, also replay the saved recording. The output of the recorder can also be translated into automatic testing scripts such as httpunit, selenium, simple-test etc.

The boundary between hardware and software in service-oriented infrastructure is dissolving, as a review of the past few months' events will quickly make clear

XFORMS est le langage XML du W3C dont l'optique est de remplacer à terme les formulaires HTML (que j'appelerai ici les HTMLForms). Son objectif est de combler les nombreuses limitations de ceux-ci et de faciliter leur écriture en évitant la dépendance vis à vis d'un langage de script.
