XML & XSLT
SALIENT FEATURES
- XML is designed to transport and store data.
- With XML You Invent Your Own Tags.
- XML Separates Data from HTML.
- XML Simplifies Platform Changes, Data Sharing and Data Transport.
- XML is Used to Create New Internet Languages like XHTML, WSDL, WAP and WML, RSS.
APPLICATION
XML's support for identity, storage and structure means it is possible to publish to the Web (as HTML) as well as to paper (as PDF) and to other formats (eg Braille, Audio, etc) from a single source document by using the appropriate stylesheets. XML is also very heavily used for enclosing or encapsulating information in order to pass it between different computing systems which would otherwise be unable to communicate. Weather services, e-commerce sites, blog newsfeeds, AJAX sites, and thousands of other data-exchange services use XML for data management and transmission, and the web browser for display and interaction.

APPLICATION
Transform XML schema to another schema.
A food retailer may represent an order based on one schema while the manufacturer may represent it with another. With XSLT, a customer order taken by the retailer can be transformed into an order that matches the manufacturer's requirements.
Transform XML documents into HTML.
New Internet devices may not understand XML, but almost always will support HTML
XSLT transformations
Transform XML to HTML for devices such as handheld PCs, mobile phones, and
TV set-top boxes
Transform XML documents into PDF.
Printers do not understand HTML, but almost always accept the Package Definition Format (PDF).
JavaScript & JSON
SALIENT FEATURES
- JavaScript was designed to add interactivity to HTML pages.
- JavaScript is a scripting language.
- A scripting language is a lightweight programming language.
- JavaScript is usually embedded directly into HTML pages.
- JavaScript is an interpreted language (means that scripts execute without preliminary compilation).
- Everyone can use JavaScript without purchasing a license
APPLICATION
Javascript is used for validation of WEB FORM input values to make sure that they will be accepted before they are submitted to the server. JavaScript can put dynamic text into an HTML page . It can respond to user actions quickly, making an application feel more responsive. Furthermore, JavaScript code can detect user actions which HTML alone cannot, such as individual keystrokes. Applications such as GMail take advantage of this: much of the user-interface logic is written in JavaScript. The wider trend of AJAX programming also exploits this strength.JavaScript can be used to detect the visitor's browser.
