XML Parsing
XML parsing refers to the process of extracting data from an XML (eXtensible Markup Language) document. XML is a widely used markup language for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. Parsing XML involves analyzing the structure and content of the XML document to extract the desired information according to specific criteria or rules. This process typically involves traversing the XML document's hierarchy of elements, attributes, and text nodes, and then processing the data accordingly. XML parsing is commonly performed in various programming languages using specialized libraries or built-in XML parsing functionality. It is often used in applications such as web development, data interchange between systems, configuration files, and more, due to XML's flexibility and extensibility for representing structured data.
