The platform- and language-agnostic nature of XML makes it a natural choice for developers building cross-platform applications and is rapidly becoming the mechanism of choice for application designers who need to store and share data. 
Simply knowing the syntax and features of the language just isn’t enough if you want to build powerful and efficient XML driven applications. You need to understand how to use the language and its features in the most effective manner. This is where this book comes in - assuming familiarity with the mechanics of XML, it analyzes all of the critical pieces of the XML space that require careful design in order to build efficient, robust, and extensible applications. It covers: 
<li> Effective document design 
</li>
<li> Designing robust, flexible schemas for validating documents 
</li>
<li> Dissection of the SAX and DOM parsing APIs - when to use which 
</li>
<li> Best practices for XSLT design 
</li>
<li> XML storage strategies 
</li>
<li> Techniques for XML transmission, using SOAP and XML-RPC 
</li>
<li> Presenting data to a range of different applications The book should appeal equally to the XML developer, who needs to write code to process XML documents or data, and the XML architect, working on systems that store and/or process XML.
