In this chapter, we cover the rules of XML syntax that are stated or implied in the XML 1.0 Recommendation from the W3C. A considerable amount of XML terminology is introduced, including discussions of pars-ing, well-formedness, and validation. XML document structure, legal XML Names, and CDATA are also among the topics.The XML 1.0 specification also discusses rules for Document Type Definitions (DTDs), which we present in chapter 4. The material in chapters 3 and 4 is very interrelated.
