Validating data by using XML Schema
Changing a document's type by using XSLT

XML is the Swiss Army Knife of data storage and manipulation tools. It's small, portable, and can do just about anything you need it to (except open a can of beans).
This chapter guides you through the details of using PHP to manipulate XML documents, starting with the Document Object Model (DOM for short). From there, we cover three of the most prominent XML technologies: XML Schema, XSLT, and XPath.
