Processing Database Records
In our example, the product data came from a static file written by a human being. Sometimes, XML will be generated on the fly from the contents of a database or the results of an algorithm. The result of a database query will be either a single database row, as shown in Listing 6.11, or a list of records (perhaps the results of a search), as shown in Listing 6.12.
Listing 6.11. A Database Record in XML
<?xml version=”1.0” ?> <person> <name>Alaric B. Snell</name> <email>alaric@alaric-snell.com</email> <url>http://www.alaric-snell.com/</url> </person> |
Listing 6.12. A Database Query Result in XML
<?xml version=”1.0” ?> <results> <person> <name>Alaric B. Snell</name> <email>alaric@alaric-snell.com</email> <url>http://www.alaric-snell.com/</url> ... |
