"XML support" refers to the ability of software to handle XML (Extensible Markup Language), a markup language used to define and store structured data. XML is commonly used for data interchange between different systems and platforms due to its flexibility and extensibility.
Typical features of software in the realm of "XML support" include:
Reading and writing XML documents: The software allows reading and writing XML files to import, export, and edit data.
Validation of XML documents: The software can validate XML documents against a specific XML schema to ensure they conform to the defined rules.
Transforming XML data: The software can transform XML data using XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations) or other techniques to convert or transform it into other formats.
XPath queries: The software supports executing XPath queries to identify and access specific parts of an XML document.
Validation of XML against DTD or XSD: The software can validate XML documents against Document Type Definitions (DTDs) or XML Schema Definitions (XSDs) to ensure they comply with the specified structure and data type rules.
