Namespaces

Although namespace support was not part of the original XML 1.0 Recommendation, Namespaces in XML was approved less than a year later (January 14, 1999). Namespaces are used to uniquely identify the element and attribute names of a given XML application from those of other applications. See Chapter 4 for more detailed information.

The following sections describe how namespaces impact the formation and interpretation of element and attribute names within an XML document.
