Hi Folks, An XML parser does two hugely significant conversions. Suppose we provide input to an XML parser. Here are the conversions that the parser does to the input: 1. The parser converts the characters in the input to Unicode. 2. The parser converts line endings in the input to a linefeed character (hex 0A). What are the consequences of these conversions? Answer: your applications can operate on the parsed input with the understanding that the characters are Unicode and the lines end with a linefeed character.
I like the term that Amy used: your applications can _reason_ about the parsed input with the understanding that the characters are Unicode and the lines end with a linefeed character. /Roger |
