Is there a way to input data into an xml database?
XML is not a database, per se. XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language. It is used for transmitting data from one source to another, and the power of XML is also it’s greatest weakness: It is all ASCII, plain text english. This allows to dissimilar operating systems to be able to communicate directly, and the sending OS converts it’s own particular brand or style of data into XML, then the receiving OS converts the XML back into IT’S own brand or style of data. In a very shallow sense of the term, XML could be considered a rather rudimentary database, but it has no practical use as a database. It’s power is in the ability to communicate between two totally dissimilar systems.
