XML namespace


namespace is used for extending XML document that's define by another /
different people?

for example soap, someone defined soap envelope which is the basic structure
/ framework <HEADER>

then user of soap can add his own elements inside the framework --> inside
<HEADER> tag or

but the new user elements is defined by different people then soap envolpe,
so we need to have another namespace

is that the only reason why we need namespace? any other reason we need
namespace for each element?

Thanks

Namespaces are XML's way of avoiding element naming conflicts. The
prefixes applied to elements also make it much clearer where elements
have come from when creating schemas that import aspects of various
other schemas from different XML dialects (hence different namespaces).

I am curious as to the rationale, and effect, of having default namespaces not applying (directly) to attributes (see http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/#defaulting). Given an attribute without a namespace prefix, what is its namespace, if default namespaces do not apply? Are (either of) prefixed or non-prefixed attributes correct? For example, are the following equivalent: <html:br class="foo"...

I ran into a problem on HP-UX 11.00 the other day, where it refused to compile a program using 'using namespace std;' at the top. The reason seem to be that the compiler refuses to accept 'using namespace std;' unless the std namespace was declared first. This triggered my curiosity, and I tried to find out what the ANSI C++ standard had to say about this. I'm unable to find a conclusion, and hope someone here have a clue to spare. ...

The primary problem I've had with php is the lack of namespaces, which makes OOP very difficult to organize, since you end up with large number of classes cluttering up the same namespace - which leads to a secondary problem involving php's __autoload feature. Since you cannot specify a namespace when calling a class that may not have been included, you are forced to store all of your classes in the same folder in your file system. This...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
