English XML Examples

This page provides examples of XML (eXtensible Markup Language) content, specifically tailored for English users. XML is a markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable.

Basic Structure

Here's a basic structure of an XML document:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
  <element attribute="value">Content</element>
</root>

Example 1: Simple XML Document

This is a simple XML document that lists some books:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<library>
  <book>
    <title>Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone</title>
    <author>J.K. Rowling</author>
  </book>
  <book>
    <title>1984</title>
    <author>George Orwell</author>
  </book>
</library>

Example 2: XML with Attributes

XML elements can have attributes that provide additional information:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<library>
  <book id="1">
    <title>Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone</title>
    <author>J.K. Rowling</author>
  </book>
  <book id="2">
    <title>1984</title>
    <author>George Orwell</author>
  </book>
</library>
