  Book Information

Developers and system administrators alike are uncovering
the true power of XML, the Extensible Markup Language that
enables data to be sent over the Internet from one computer
platform to another or one application to another and retain
its original format. Flexible enough to be customized for
applications as diverse as web sites, electronic data
interchange, voice mail systems, wireless devices, web
services, and more, XML is quickly becoming ubiquitous.

XML Hacks is a roll-up-your-sleeves guide that distills
years of ingenious XML hacking into a complete set of
practical tips, tricks, and tools for web developers, system
administrators, and programmers who want to go far beyond
basic tutorials to leverage the untapped power of XML.

With plenty of useful real-world projects that illustrate
how to define, read, create, and manipulate XML documents,
XML Hacks shows readers how to put XML's power to work on
the Internet and within productivity applications. Each Hack
in this book can be read easily in a few minutes, saving
programmers and administrators countless hours of searching
for the right answer. And this is an O'Reilly Hacks book, so
it's not just practical, imminently useful, and time-saving.
It's also fun.

From Anatomy of an XML Document to Exploring SOAP Messages
XML Hacks shows you how to save time and accomplish more
with fewer resources. If you want much more than the average
XML user--to explore and experiment, do things you didn't
know you could do with XML, discover clever shortcuts, and
show off just a little--this invaluable book is a must-have.
