During the First week of Lecture CMT3315 we were given questions to research in the history of XML. For the duration of the lecture we talked about what is XML what it is about, etc.
1. What was the first Browser to read XML????
Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 was the first browser to support XML. To accomplish this, IE4 uses the external MSXML parser that can break a document's XML tags into an object tree. Values contained in structured tag sets are exposed as objects that can be manipulated within the browser by JavaScript. The next generation of browsers, however, will natively recognize and parse XML documents.
Use of DOM (Document Object Model) XML Object Model
Short for Document Object Model, the specification for how objects in a Web page (text, images, headers, links, etc.) are represented. The DOM defines what attributes are associated with each object, and how the objects and attributes can be manipulated.
Unfortunately, the two leading browsers -- Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer -- use different DOMs. This is one reason why their respective implementations of DHTML are so different. Both companies have submitted their DOMs to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) for standardization, which now has the daunting task of specifying a standard DOM without alienating either of the browser giants. The W3C's DOM specification will support both HTML and XML. In Addition the Development of xml Parsers xml parser is used to read files and passes them to processing application software. they are different varieties that Microsoft parsers that an application developers can use.
