Xml

Hey,

I came across this question, this is the 1st time I write a XML file, and I have no idea if my work is correct, or if thats how its supposed to be.......please give me your feedback:

Consider the following XML file that describes a pizza:
An order for a Pizza in a restaurant, stores the name, address, and the phone number of the customer. It stores also the description of one or more pizzas. A pizza has a size (small priced at $10, medium at $13 and large at $16), a crust type (thin or thick) and one or more toppings. The toping could be meat (beef or chicken), vegetable (red onion or cilantro).

Create an XML file that describes two different order for two different pizza.


this is what i did:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <?xml version = ”1.0” ?>
  2. <Pizza>
  3. <name> My Pizza </name>
  4. <address> Kitchen </address>
  5. <phoneNumber> 065432198 </phoneNumber>
  6. <description> 
  7. <size> small </size>
  8. <price> $10 </price>
  9. <crust> thin </crust>
  10. <topping>
  11. <meat>beef </meat>
  12. <meat>chicken</meat>
  13. <vegetable> red onion </vegetable>
  14. <vegetable> cilantro </vegetable>
  15. </topping>
  16. </description>
  17. <name> His Pizza </name>
  18. <address> Kitchen2 </address>
  19. <phoneNumber> 0625678800 </phoneNumber>
  20. <description> 
  21. <size> large </size>
  22. <price> $16 </price>
  23. <crust> thick </price>
  24. <topping>
  25. <meat>beef </meat>
  26. <meat>chicken<meat>
  27. <vegetable> red onion </vegetable>
  28. <vegetable> cilantro </vegetable>
  29. </topping>
  30. </description>
  31. </Pizza>
Thanks in advance....

Strictly speaking this should have been posted in the XML forum. The little xml knowledge I have says that maybe you can structure this in many ways. However the following seem to be required for this design

[PHP] <order>
<pizza>
.....
</pizza>
<pizza>
.....
</pizza>
</order>
<order>
<pizza>
.....
</pizza>
<pizza>
.....
</pizza>
</order>
[/PHP]

To represent two different orders of two different pizzas. Also name address and phone should not go under pizza but under customer so you'd have

[PHP] <order>
<customer>
<name>
.....
</name>
.....
</customer>
<pizza>
.....
</pizza>
<pizza>
.....
</pizza>
</order>
[/PHP]
i.e each order is made by a customer with a name, address etc.
Remember however that your xml must have one root
Maybe something like
<order-form>
<order>
...
</order>
</order-form>

Not a big problem though. You don't have to post it in the XML forum then. I'll copy it over there for you so people in the XML forum can contribute and while you are posting here in the java forum.

I think it should be along these lines. Note that if you have internet explorer you can open the xml using explorer and if there are any errors in your xml explorer will tell you.
