XMLaware

XMLaware refers to a software component or system designed to understand and process Extensible Markup Language (XML) data. This implies a capability beyond simple parsing, suggesting an awareness of XML's structure, schema, and potentially its semantic meaning. Software that is XMLaware can typically perform operations such as validating XML documents against a schema, transforming XML data into other formats (like HTML or other XML structures) using technologies like XSLT, and querying XML data using languages like XPath. It may also involve a deeper understanding of XML namespaces, attributes, and elements, allowing for more sophisticated data manipulation and integration. The term is often used in contexts related to data exchange, web services, and content management systems where structured data in XML format is prevalent. An XMLaware application can facilitate interoperability between different systems by reliably interpreting and acting upon XML-formatted information.
