XML Example

Certainly! Here’s a simple example of an XML document representing information about two books in a bookstore:

<bookstore>
  <book category="fiction">
    <title>XQuery 101</title>
    <author>John Doe</author>
    <price>25.00</price>
  </book>
  <book category="non-fiction">
    <title>XML Fundamentals</title>
    <author>Jane Smith</author>
    <price>30.00</price>
  </book>
</bookstore>

In this XML example:

  • The root element is <bookstore>, which contains two child elements <book>.
  • Each <book> element has an attribute category to specify whether the book is fiction or non-fiction.
  • Inside each <book> element, there are three child elements: <title>, <author>, and <price>, representing the book’s title, author’s name, and price, respectively.

This XML document follows the hierarchical structure of XML, where each element is nested inside its parent element, forming a tree-like structure. The elements and attributes are used to represent the data in a structured and self-descriptive manner. XML is flexible enough to represent a wide variety of data formats and is commonly used for data interchange, configuration files, web services, and more.
