Q:- How To Embed Xml into Html Documents?
Ans:- You can embed XML into HTML documents in multiple ways, depending on what you
want to achieve. Here are some common methods:
1. Using <iframe> to Embed an External XML File
If your XML file is hosted externally, you can embed it using an <iframe>:
<iframe src="data.xml" width="600" height="400"></iframe>
This will display the raw XML content within the iframe.
2. Using <object> or <embed> to Display XML
You can also use <object> or <embed> to show an XML file in the browser.
<object data="data.xml" type="text/xml" width="600" height="400"></object>
Or
<embed src="data.xml" type="text/xml" width="600" height="400">
However, this method just displays raw XML, not formatted content.
3. Embedding XML Inside an HTML Document Using <script>
You can include XML directly in an HTML document using the <script> tag with
type="application/xml":
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Embedded XML Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>XML Embedded in HTML</h2>
<script type="application/xml" id="xmlData">
<books>
<book>
<title>XML Guide</title>
<author>John Doe</author>
</book>
<book>
<title>HTML & XML</title>
<author>Jane Doe</author>
</book>
</books>
</script>
</body>
</html>
This won't display XML by itself but allows JavaScript to process and display it.
4. Using XSLT to Transform XML into HTML
You can transform XML into HTML using XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language
Transformations).
XML File (data.xml)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="style.xsl"?>
<books>
<book>
<title>XML Guide</title>
<author>John Doe</author>
</book>
<book>
<title>HTML & XML</title>
<author>Jane Doe</author>
</book>
</books>
XSLT File (style.xsl)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<h2>Books List</h2>
<ul>
<xsl:for-each select="books/book">
<li><strong><xsl:value-of select="title"/></strong> by <xsl:value-of
select="author"/></li>
</xsl:for-each>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Conclusion
If you just want to display raw XML, use <iframe> or <object>.
If you want to embed and process XML inside HTML, use <script
type="application/xml"> with JavaScript.
If you want a more advanced approach, use XSLT to transform XML into HTML.
