Updated 25 Apr 2007 XML Binding Language (XBL) allows you to define
behaviors, possibly in the form of handler scripts, related to XML
elements. Learn how XBL opens up a declarative means of developing XML-based applications.
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) recently put some
effort into standardizing several common practices on the Web, some of
which are closely related to XML in applications processing.
XML Binding
Language (XBL) 2.0
[in development] is a description language for
bindings for elements in XML documents. A binding is a declaration of
the behavior associated with that element. You can attach it to the
element using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) or Document Object Model (DOM). This allows vendors to
create reusable components as the basis of XML applications, and
developers to declare how these components hook into documents. The
document content thus represents the basic application data, which you
can maintain independently of the application. The application itself
plugs into XML's core flexibility and extensibility.
