XMLElemente

XMLElemente is a hypothetical XML element commonly used in instructional materials to illustrate element structure and attribute usage within XML documents. The term is not part of any official XML specification; it serves as a stand‑in name to demonstrate nesting, attributes, and well‑formedness without referencing a real data type.

In examples, XMLElemente typically appears as a container element that can enclose text content and other child elements. Typical attributes include id, class, and type, though any valid XML attribute may be demonstrated. A canonical example is: <XMLElemente id="123" type="example"><Child>Content</Child></XMLElemente>.

Relation to standards: XMLElemente is not defined by XML 1.0/1.1, XML Namespaces, or XML Schema; it is frequently used in tutorials and blog posts to avoid confusion with real data structures while focusing on syntax and document structure.

Variants and cautions: Some authors adopt different capitalizations or spellings (for example, XMLElement or XMLElemente) to suit their example. In actual practice, XMLElemente should be replaced with real element names within real schemas, and its attributes should reflect the data model being modeled.
