How I Use XML
Settings files for JOA resources including
preferences, color palettes, color bars,
interpolation surfaces, map settings. As a
replacement EPIC pointer files for describing
collections of metadata for profile and
time-series data. EPIC pointer files are
difficult to parse with a rigid format that is
difficult to expand.

Advantages of XML
Not an opaque binary object (e.g., a serialized
Java object)--viewable and editable using very
simple tools Settings files not rendered
obsolete when your program needs change. If you
serialized a Java object that held the
specifications, for example, a map, changing the
map specification object would render all your
existing settings files unreadable. Using XML you
would simple add/remove tags. Your code simply
ignores obsolete tags until overwritten by a new
version. Easy to organize information into
hierarchies and a kind of object inheritance.
4
Advantages of XML (continued)
Easy to parse with readily available libraries--I
use an ancient SAX parser. Probably easier to
parse with more modern libraries.

Designing XML Files
I have usually designed my XML files by building
a DTD (Document Type Definition) file (unless
its very simple). DTDs describe rules for how
the XML document elements, attributes, and other
data are defined and logically related in an
XML-compliant document. Can also use the DTD to
validate the correctness of an XML document. An
XML document may also have an associated
stylesheet that specifies how the document looks
when displayed (e.g., in a web browser). I dont
build stylesheets because Im not concerned with
how they look.
