The XML Assembly

Brief Description

Getting Started

The XML assembly is used to work with documents and data in the XML format.

When the XML assembly is used in Foresight Analytics Platform development environment, the user can use MSXML description available in MSDN:

General overview of MSXML services. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/desktop/ms763742(v=vs.85);
XML DOM interfaces. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/desktop/ms760218(v=vs.85).

The types described there and XML assembly types are identical in their purpose and functionality but the platform uses native implementations of all required data handling algorithms.

The Examples of Working with XML Files section shows several simple examples of working with the assembly.

Before using the XML assembly, it is recommended to study extensible markup language XML, its scope, vocabulary and terminology, as well as document object models (DOM) of various levels.

XML language and Document Object Models specifications are available at W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) site: http://www.w3.org/.
