Chapter 16. The System.Xml Namespace

The System.Xml namespace provides support for managing XML documents according to a set of standards defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The classes implement objects that comply with the XML 1.0 specification and the DOM Core Level 1 and Core Level 2. Additional support is provided for XML Schemas (the System.Xml.Schema namespace), XSLT (System.Xml.Xsl), and XPath (System.Xml.XPath), covered in Chapter 17.

Figure 16-1 and Figure 16-2 show the types in this namespace.
