XML in Real Life

Some real-life examples of how XML can be used to carry information.

Example: XML News

XMLNews is a specification for exchanging news and other information.

Using such a standard makes it easier for both news producers and news consumers to produce, receive, and archive any kind of news information across different hardware, software, and programming languages.

An example XML News document:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<nitf>

<head>
<title>Colombia Earthquake</title>
</head>

<body>

<body.head>
<headline>
<hl1>143 Dead in Colombia Earthquake</hl1>
</headline>
<byline>
<bytag>By Jared Kotler, Associated Press Writer</bytag>
</byline>
<dateline>
<location>Bogota, Colombia</location>
<story.date>Monday January 25 1999 7:28 ET</story.date>
</dateline>
</body.head>

</body>

</nitf>
