File Format Design

The file is separated into four parts:

Magic Information

The magic information identifies that the file is an XML format file. Typically, this information appears as follows:


<? XML version = 1.0 ?>

DTD (Document Type Declaration)

The DTD information defines the structure of the document. The DTD of an export file resembles the following example.

Example 19–3 Import and Export File DTD

   contain groups and adornment. */
