XHTML is the redefinition in XML of HTML defined in SGML. XHTML1.0
became a W3C Recommendation on January 26th, 2000 as the redefinition
of HTML4.01.
XHTML has a high affinity with both HTML and XML, and is expected
to be the description language of Web contents that can be processed
by XML-compliant tools. XHTML1.1 became a W3C Recommendation on
May 31st, 2001.
In addition, XHTML Basic became a W3C Recommendation as a subset
of XHTML for mobile devices.
Stands for the Extensible Markup Language. Based on the SGML standard,
XML was designed with ease of use on the Internet in mind. XML is
first and foremost a data format standard that makes it possible
to exchange information on network systems that use the Internet.
XML 1.0 became a W3C Recommendation on February 10th, 1998.
Document Object Model (DOM)
A data model and application interface used to access XML documents.
In order to handle an XML document as a tree structure (called a
"DOM tree") to access data, the whole of the document
is read. As the DOM tree is stored in the memory, a large amount
of available memory is required to process a large XML document.
DOM allows random access to be made to document content.
