Ever since the mid 90’s, as XML has evolved to become the optimum way to share, transport and persist data, developers have sought efficient ways to store, manipulate and generally take advantage of its capabilities. Increasingly fast and easy-to-use XML parsers have been developed, transport protocols such as SOAP have been used to implement Web Services around XML, and many applications, tools and programming libraries now include features to import and export their data as XML....

The eXtensible Markup Language (XML) started its life as replacement for the immens popularly but limited HTML-format. In time, it became apparent that XML was even more useful "outside the browser" and that it was extremely suitable as a format for data interchange and data storage. The popularity and wide-spread use of XML has led to a large and continuously growing amount of XML documents and a strong demand for efficient storage, query and retrieval solutions.
Initially XML database vend...

Having seen how the XPathDocument provides read-only access to XML documents, and supports techniques for persisting the XML in various ways, we'll now look at the XmlDocument class. This is a far more complex class, providing full support for the XML DOM Level 2 methods. However, in line with the topics of these three articles, we'll be concentrating here on the capabilities for reading and writing XML....

XQuery is a powerful and convenient language designed for processing XML data. That means not only files in XML format, but also other data including databases whose structure -- nested, named trees with attributes -- is similar to XML.XQuery is an interesting language with some unusual ideas. This article provides a high level view of XQuery, introducing the main ideas you should understand before you go deeper or actually try to use it....

This is the second in a series of three articles that look at how the latest version of Microsoft’s enterprise-level database, SQL Server 2005, now offers great support and close integration with XML as a data persistence format. This includes new ways to validate, store and query XML documents that are stored within the database. SQL Server 2005 provides native support for XML that can vastly improve application performance, while supporting robust and safe multi-user access to the data contain...
