Question 1

I decided to write an XML document describing a retail store with multiple sections and

subsections ending with a description of the actual products. The root node is the store

under it I presented 2 sections each with an attribute describing the content; the first

was electronics and under falls multiple TVs and laptops with their specifications (brand,size, price, quantity, color). The other section is the food section and under it we have

dairy food which is composed of labneh and cheese with a description for each (price,

brand, characteristics, expiry) and a soft drink label. The code (75 lines) is as follows:

Question 2

To check if my code was well formed I used the online based validator

www.xmlvalidation.com . The code is well formed and this shown by the screenshot

below clearly stating No errors were found.

Question 3

I updated my code starting it with a DTD then again used the validator twice, once while

commenting the attribute declaration line to get an error and the other the correct code

to make sure everything is right. The results follow:

Question 4

The same was repeated for the Schema. The outcomes were:

Question 5

The code I chose I got from www.w3schools.comwhich describes a catalog of plants.

Each plant has a common, a botanical, a zone, a light, a price and an availability

element. The code is 292 lines but due to the limited space I am only showing the first

60 lines. The root node here is the catalog followed by several plants each with itscharacteristics. A screenshot of the first 60 lines follow:

Question 6

After a quick search on the web I found many articles that recommended XML Notepad

as the best querying tool. I downloaded it and opened my code on it. The following was

displayed (due to the limited size of the screen only 6 outputs are shown):

Question 7

The following XSLT code takes the plant catalog and outputs it into a simple table. This

will transform it into an HTML code which part of it is displayed below (since it is really

large) and the output Mozilla Firefox also follows:

Question 8

Finally I updated the previous XSLT to output the plants which only grow in a sunny

weather by using the xsl:if and testing when the LIGHT component is equal to the string

Sunny. This has many applications, say a customer lives in a sunny area and we want to

only show him what can grow in his land. The XSLT code, the HTML code and the outputin Mozilla Firefox are showed below:
