General XML Information

This page collects links to useful general resources about XML.

• W3C's XML page
  Contains the XML 1.0 Recommendation, and working drafts of other specificiations related to XML.
• An introduction to XML
  Written by Lars Marius Garshol.
• Robin Cover's XML page
  An excellent starting point for discovering XML-related resources on the Web.
• The XML FAQ
  
• James Clark's collection of XML Resources
  Of more interest to advanced XML users, this page includes a specification for Canonical XML, an XML parser test suite, and the C source code for the Expat parser. a
• Schema.net
  XML Information
  XML Software
  Three very useful resources maintained by James Tauber. Schema.net lists XML Document Type Definitions for various application domains; XMLinfo.com lists specifications and other documents; XMLsoftware.com lists software for XML processing.
• XML.com
  XML.com runs various articles and columns about XML and its applications on a monthly basis. Perhaps the closest thing to an XML magazine at the moment.

Mailing list archives

• The xml-dev mailing list
  xml-dev is for general technical discussion of XML. Much of the discussion about SAX has taken place here.
• The www-dom mailing list
  www-dom is for public discussion of the Document Object Model development effort.

Other XML-based Development Efforts

• Remote Procedure Calls
  A proposal to perform RPC over HTTP using XML as the information exchange format. It's already implemented for Frontier, a Macintosh scripting system, and won't be too difficult to support this in Python, should it prove useful. Proposed by Dave Winer.
• WebBroker
  A W3C Note about something similiar to Winer's RPC-over-HTTP-via-XML proposal.
