Answer 1

XML parsing is the task of taking some text, formatted according to the rules of XML, and turning it into a data structure.

As for examples, they depend a lot on the language you are using and the libraries you choose.

In Perl, you might:

  my $doc = XML::LibXML->load_xml(location => $filename);

XML parsing is the operation to validate an XML document. You can do it using a softaware like EDITIX that you can download it from http://www.editix.com/download.html it's free and also you can use it to create XML documents, DTDs and XML schemas
