Notes

XML uses tags to group related pieces of information into 'nodes'. Nodes are hierarchical, that is, they can contain other nodes within them (child nodes), and their children can contain children, just like MovieClips in Flash (see my Paths tutorial). XML is also associative in that two nodes which are children of the same parent node are recognized as being siblings.

All nodes (except self-contained nodes which we may discuss later) must have a beginning and ending tag, which are alphanumerically identical. That means tags are case-sensitive, for instance this is valid:
