Data collection and data management are growing fields related to data analysis and business intelligence. XML is an in-demand coding language that is increasingly used in data management. Learning XML doesn't have to be intimidating. The components of code, down to the characters, are labeled and color-coded to enhance understanding of the building blocks of XML code. Understanding XML documents is shown in context of the commonly used companion codes for restricting content with XML Schema, navigating nodes with XPATH and transforming the content with styles with XSLT. Additional topics show the relationship of XML with Microsoft Excel, including importing, mapping Schema, and exporting content.
