CSE XML Course
Learn XML and Related Technologies
Everything you need to master XML—from basic syntax to advanced transformations. Built to help you actually learn, not just memorize.
What you'll learn
The course covers everything from XML fundamentals to XPath and XSLT transformations.
Learning Goals
- CLO01Explain XML fundamentals, syntax rules, and how XML represents structured information.
- CLO02Design and validate XML documents using DTD and XML Schema (XSD) constraints.
- CLO03Query and navigate XML documents using XPath expressions and axes.
- CLO04Transform XML into other formats using XSLT templates and processing rules.
- CLO05Integrate XML, XSD, XPath, and XSLT into an end-to-end data processing workflow.
Skills You'll Build
- CO01Create well-formed XML documents and model data using elements and attributes.
- CO02Use DTD to define structure, entities, and attribute constraints for XML validation.
- CO03Develop XML Schema (XSD) using namespaces, types, and occurrence constraints.
- CO04Write XPath and XSLT to query and transform XML data into usable outputs.
- CO05Build and document an XML mini-project demonstrating validation and transformation.
