Chapter 22. System.Xml
The System.Xml namespace provides support for
managing XML documents according to a set of standards defined
by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The classes implement
objects that comply with the XML 1.0 specification and the Document
Object Model (DOM) Core Level 1 and Core Level 2. Additional support
is provided for XML Schemas (the System.Xml.Schema
namespace), XSLT (System.Xml.Xsl), and XPath
(System.Xml.XPath).
Figure 22-1 and Figure 22-2 show the types in this namespace. For more information on these technologies and their use, please consult XML in a Nutshell, by Elliote Rusty Harold and W. Scott Means (O’Reilly, 2001) or Essential XML: Beyond Markup, by Don Box (Addison Wesley, 2000).
