XML Fundamentals Training by AcadNXT is designed to provide participants with practical expertise in working with XML (Extensible Markup Language) for data representation, storage, and exchange across applications and systems. This instructor-led training program covers XML syntax, document structure, elements and attributes, namespaces, XML schemas (XSD), DTD, validation techniques, parsing methods, XPath, XSLT basics, and integration with web services and applications. Participants will gain hands-on experience in creating, validating, and transforming XML data for enterprise integration, APIs, and configuration management use cases. The course is ideal for developers, testers, integration engineers, and IT professionals working with structured data exchange systems.
