19.2 Displaying XML on the Web with eXml
These days, more and more data is available as XML. XML is often used as a common language for integrating disparate services, and it is becoming commonplace for relational databases (such as SQL Server and Oracle) to produce XML output in response to queries. As more data becomes available as XML, it becomes increasingly important to find easy and efficient ways to display that data on the Web.
eXml is an ASP.NET 2.0 server control for displaying XML on the Web. It can display raw XML or an XSLT transform of that data. eXml is similar to the .NET Framework’s XML Web Server control (System.Web.UI.WebControls.Xml
) but provides additional processing capabilities, including support for EXSLT, XInclude, friendly XML rendering, XML processing instructions, embedded stylesheets, and whitespace stripping.
