The second project that I am interested in pursuing is that I want to create a bot on my computer that would read a static XML file on my computer every morning and then send me an email. In essence, I would write a script that tells my computer to turn on at AM for every day of the year and read through an XML file which would constantly get updated by a programmable bot. This bot would read through my online class schedules and see what exams or assignments I have coming up and fill in this information within the XML file.
After this step, I would have the bot send all of this information neatly organized to me in an email. More specifically, a markup language is a set of symbols that can be placed in the text of a document to demarcate and label the parts of that document. A programming language consists of grammar rules and its own vocabulary which is used to create computer programs.
These programs instruct the computer to perform specific tasks. Microsoft emphatically does not own XML, and the technology has transcended politics by virtue of its sheer usefulness.
The fact that XML is important to all three companies says a lot for its bridge-building potential. The mere fact of a document being in XML is no guarantee of usefulness. These are large documents with hundreds of Visio-specific elements and attributes. It might make it easier for other vendors to create an import filter; but the real benefit will come if and when Microsoft and other drawing application vendors sit down to thrash out an agreed XML standard for drawing documents.
With XML, standards are everything. An XML document is a tree of nested elements, each of which can have none or more attributes. There can only be one root element. Each element has an starting and ending tag, marked by angle brackets, with content in between:. The content can contain other elements, or can consist entirely of other elements, or might be empty. Attributes are named values which are given in the start tag, with the values surrounded by single or double quotations:.
There are a few other fundamentals in XML, such as processing instructions and namespaces, but elements and attributes are the heart of it. Another prolific advantage XML is its ability to feature any possible type of data. XML lets developer to use custom tags as per their need.
This helps in storing data in meaningful tags that helps in understanding the context of the data. Online Class Notes, your source for class notes of different course of computer science and technology degree.
