XML Books

To understand the basic XML spec -- how to encode information -- look at Eliot Rusty Harrold's XML Bible, Simon St. Laurent's XML Primer, or Neil Bradley's XML Companion.

I have quibbles with all of them -- some larger, some smaller, but in general I'd say ignore anything they have to say about XLink, XPointer, and schemas, and you should be able to get a good general introduction. -- Elaine Brennan, words-l, 20010712
