Delphi Developer's Guide to XML, 2nd Edition

Delphi Developer’s Guide to XML, 2nd Edition covers all aspects of utilizing the power of XML through the Delphi environment up to version 7. This book provides a solid introduction to the technologies that make up XML and its related specifications. In-depth coverage of the Document Object Model (DOM) is provided through investigation of the basic specification and several implementations of it, including the Common DOM framework of Delphi 6 and 7. Similarly, the Simple API for XML (SAX) is described along with several implementations.

Generating XML documents is detailed using simple text, Delphi’s WebBroker and XMLBroker, and the DOM and SAX. XML data binding encapsulates an XML document within more familiar Delphi objects. XSL Transformations allow you to reformat your documents in a standard way, while the XML Mapper converts documents for use with client datasets. Creating and invoking Web services is easy with Delphi 6 and 7’s SOAP implementation.
