Hi Gang,
Another evolter beginning to fiddle about with XML ... (I spent most
of yesterday parsing through 27,000+ XML data files.)
Anyway ... easy question ...
How is a null represented in an XML data stream?
Is it "<ZZZ></ZZZ>"? (No value between the tags - but the tags
are in the stream.)
Or is it ""? (No evidence of a 'ZZZ' element at all.)
Or are they equivalent?
<tip type="XML Viewer" author="RonL.">
The version I've been using isn't particularly stable if you open
more than two data files at once, but if you only look at one or
two at a time then 'Peter's XML Editor' (freeware I think) and
available from tucows seems reasonably decent.
</tip>
Thanks,
RonL.
