Hello mailing list, I have a question about the use of XML / XLS application, I am introducing myself in this technology, What is useful XML / XLS for? , I need a basic example, basic application of it, because I don't find the use of it. I know that XML is used to interchange data between every system in standard way (Why XML is standard?, because I understand that depend of the client browser they have a particular XML parser to retrieve information of the XML document, if would have only one standard XML parser, could be), and with XLS you transform the XML document to HTML format, postscript format, and so on, but in order to transform the XML document you need to know the syntax of the XSL and I think that its another language that you need to know. Another doubt is if XML document replace DB, because I read a book that has a methodology to transform DB table into a XML document, and use a XML parser to retrieve the data, I read another example that the script use a SQL statement like XML SQL Select, you execute it, then the DBMS server give you the XML document, then XSL or XLST convert the XML document, and finally you obtain the HTML in the client browser, well, Thanks for any help, bye :).
