an xml book recommendation

[ZeroKilled]

greeting people,

i'm looking for a recommendation of any book concerning XML. but, i'm looking one that have complete reference about xml and that can guide me from novice concept to most advanced concept. as an example, i own this book javascript: the definitive guide 4th edition from o'reilly which is very detailed and well organized. if any of you know about this book, you will understand what exactly i'm looking for.

any comment is welcome,
thanks

I don't think you can find many good books on xml, because it's a rather simple thing to write, it's the accessing of it's info that becomes the trier part, and that can be done in so many languages and methods that it is proberly simpler for you to decide exactly what languages you will want to read the xml file from.

Reading it from javascript basicly comes down to finding a good ajax tutorial, since they tend to be the better guides on the subject(although the w3schools xml guide isn't too bad, ignoring it's rather limited advice).

with PHP you have a host of functions, SimpleXML (http://php.net/simplexml) is proberly the easiest method I have ever seen.

well, thanks for the response, but it don't help me. no matter how, i want to own an xml book, even if it is simple language. it don't have to be exactly as the example i give, but just good enought. i had found lot of tutorial and guide on the web about xml but i can't stand in front of a monitor reading it intensively because it hurt my eyes. before buying a book, i just wanted to read some reccomendation from the community to be sure.

You might want to search around the www.oreilly.com web site, such as XML in a Nutshell (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/xmlnut3/).
