7.4 Moving On

In addition to all the simple XML reading, writing, manipulation, and navigation you started with, you have now seen how to create and use one particular type of XML document, the XSLT stylesheet. You should have learned a little bit about the XSLT language, and how to pass parameters and extension objects to it in order to customize your output.

Continuing along this theme, I'll show you another very specific type of XML document next, the W3C XML Schema definition document. Though you've already seen some use of XML Schema earlier in Chapter 2, in Chapter 8 I'll present a more in-depth look at W3C XML Schema and what it can do for you.
