You should look at my second example, it explains it all

Re: [WEB400] Basic question on XML structure






I can't spot the difference between your snippet and the OP's apart from 
the
whitespace, which will of course be ignored by a standards compliant 
parser
anyway. 

Did I miss something else?

You express the XML snippits wrong, it should be

<client>
    <name>bill</name>
    <children>
        <child>
            <name>jon</name>
        </child>
        <child>
            <name>joe</name>
        </child>
    </children>
</client>

<client>
    <name>bill</name>
    <child>
        <name>jon</name>
    </child>
    <child>
        <name>joe</name>
    </child>
</client>

The first structure is weel structured, the second isn't.

[WEB400] Basic question on XML structure






Hi all,

A little inexperienced in xml here.

Compare these 2 structures :

<client>
<name>bill</name>
<children>
    <child>
        <name>jon</name>
    </child>
    <child>
        <name>joe</name>
    </child>
</children>
</client>

<client>
<name>bill</name>
    <child>
        <name>jon</name>
    </child>
    <child>
        <name>joe</name>
    </child>
</client>

Are there any advantages or disadvantages to using or not using the 
element <children>?

We do not use attributes.


Thanks.
