XML: eXtensible Markup Language
• Extensible: user defined tags
• Facilitate better encoding of semantics
• A ‘meta’ markup language (self-describing) • Mathematical Markup Language (MathML)
• ChemML (Chemical Markup Language)
• FHIR (Health/Medical data: http://hl7.org/fhir) • RSS, SOAP, SVG, …

XML syntax – well formed
• begin with declaration, the XML prolog.
• Elements
• One root element
• Properly nested
• Attribute values must be quoted • Must have a closing tag:
• Parkville
(self closing tag with an attribute) • Case sensitive
• comments

XML syntax – cont.
• Preserves white spaces.
I think … therefore I am
• some characters have special meaning
• ‘<’ and ‘&’ are strictly illegal inside an element • allbooks&videosarenow
• all books & videos are now < AUD 10
• CDATA (character data) section may be used inside XML element to include large blocks of text, which may contain these special characters such as &, >
• •

XML – valid
Well-formed ≠ valid; valid = well-formed + formal validation
We do not cover DTD and XML schema in this subject

XML vs HTML
• Extensible — non-extensible
• Case sensitive — not case sensitive • Focus on semantics — display

JSON – JavaScript Object Notation
• JSON (www.json.org)
• (pretty much alone)
• c.f the development of XML by committee
• “Javascript: the good parts” • O’ Reilly, Yahoo Press

JSON syntax rules
• JSON data is in key/value pairs “firstName”:”John”
• JSON values
•A number (integer or floating point)
•A string (in double quotes) •A Boolean (true or false)
•An array (in square brackets) •An object (in curly braces) •null

JSON syntax rules – cont.
• JSON Objects {“firstName”:”John”,
“lastName”:”Doe”}
• JSON Arrays [
{“firstName”:”John”, “lastName”:”Doe”}, {“firstName”:”Anna”, “lastName”:”Smith”}, {“firstName”:”Peter”, “lastName”:”Jones”}
• These objects repeat recursively down a hierarchy as needed. • In terms of syntax that’s pretty much it!

JSON compared to XML
• JSON is simpler and more compact/lightweight than XML; easy to parse.
• Which appeals to programmers looking for speed and efficiency
• Widely used for storing data in noSQL databases
• Common JSON application – read and display data from a webserver using javascript. https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_json.asp
• XML comes with a large family of other standards for querying and transforming (XQuery, XML Schema, XPATH, XSLT, namespaces, …)
• allows formal validation
• makes you consider the data design more closely

Python modules for JSON and XML
• json • lxml

JSON: Summary
• JavaScript Object Notation
• Lightweight, streamlined, standard method of data exchange
• Originally designed to speed up client/server interactions: • By running in the client browser
• Can be used to represent any kind of semi structured data • Lacks context and schema definitions

Unstructured Data – Intro
COMP20008 Elements of Data Processing

Unstructured data – Text
Text files…
• No structure.
• Lacks regularity and decomposable internal structure
• Hard to index
• Hard to organise
• How can we process and search for textual information?
More on text data later.

What you should know
• Categorising data formats based on their structural regularity
• Why do we have different data formats and why do we wish to
transform between different formats?
• Motivation for using relational databases to manage information
• What is a csv, what is a spreadsheet, what is the difference?
• Difference between HTML and XML and when to use each
• Be able to read and write data in XML (elements, attributes)
• Be able to read and write data in JSON
• Difference between XML and JSON; applications where each can be used.
