Q4. When working with Ajax applications, which is faster, XML or JSON?

XML, because it is extensible
JSON, because it transfers data without waiting for a server response
XML, because it supports namespaces
JSON, because it is already parsed into a JavaScript object

XHTML elements must be properly nested within each other.
XHTML tags must have an equivalent closing tag.

Explanation: XML Attributes values must be quoted. Element names are case-sensitive (and CamelCase is one of the naming styles).

Q8. Which Ajax method is used to exchange data with a server using a modern browser?

request-XML
XMLHttpRequest
ActiveXObject
responseXML

Q9. A markup language is a _ -readable language that _ text so that the computer can _ that text.

non; processes; format
human; annotates; manipulate

Q10. What is this code an example of?

<x a="x" a="y"></x>

improperly named element
self-closing tag
null element
incorrect XML syntax

Q11. XML provides a framework for specifying markup languages, while HTML is a predefined markup language. What is applicable to XML and not HTML?

It is important for an XML document to be well-formed
XML elements start with an opening tag in angle brackets, such as <p>
XML syntax uses tags, elements, and attributes

Q12. What is the last step in extending XHTML modules?

The last step is to complete the extension of XHTML compound documents and make sure the documents adhere to the defined namespaces.
The last step is to create the DTD for the XHTML extension, which references both the XHTML modules and the new modules.
The last step is to run the XHTML extension through the XSLT processor, which will properly format it.
The last step is to verify that the XHTML is well-formed valid, and compatible with most browsers.

Q13. In an XML DTD ATTLIST declaration, which default value is used to indicate that the attribute does not have to be included?

#DEFAULT
#OPTIONAL
#IMPLIED
#FIXED

Q14. How does the XML DOM present an XML document?

as a dynamic program

Q15. You are working with an XML document that uses an XML schema. How do you specify that an element can appear multiple times inside its parent element?

Set the maxOccurs attribute to a large number, such as 1.000
Set the maxOccurs attribute to 0
Set the maxOccurs attribute to undefined.
Set the maxOccurs attribute to unbounded.

Q16. The `<xsl:with-param>` element defines the value of a parameter to be passed into a template. It can be used within which elements?

<xsl:apply-templates> and <xsl:call-template>
<xsl:param> and <xsl:processing-instruction>
<xsl:template> and <xsl:transform>
<xsl:include> and <xsl:variable>

Q17. You are checking someone else's XML document for errors. You notice that the prolog does not have a closing tag. What do you do?

Remove the prolog to make sure that the XML document will be properly processed across all platforms.
Leave it alone, because the prolog does not require a closing tag.
Move the prolog to an external file so that the XML document only has elements with closing tags.
Add a closing tag, as all XML elements must have a closing tag.

Q18. Which statement is not true about XML?

XML is flexible and customizable.
XML can be used to store data.
XML is independent of the Operating System.

Q20. You want to convert a large XML file into CSV format. You did not create the XML file, so you are not familiar with all of the syntax. What will help you get the best insight into the file contents?

XSLT
DOM
AJAX
XSD

This question is about understanding the XML аfile contents. XSD is the correct one here - that's the schema document, which describes the XML.

}
</ul>

:

<ol>
{
    for $x in doc("cars.xml")/cars/car
    where $x/year>2000
    order by $x/year desc
    return <li>{data($x)}</li>
}
</ol>

:

<ul>
{
    for $x in doc("cars.xml")/cars/car
    where $x/year>2000
    order by $x/year
    return <li>{$x}</li>
}
</ul>

:

<ol>
{
    for $x in doc("cars.xml")/cars/car
    where $x/year>2000
    order by $x/year descending
    return <li>{data($x)}</li>

Q31. You are working with the following XML code snippet. Which XPath expression produces C-Class?

<cars>
    <car><make>Cadillac</make><model>Escalade</model>
        <price year="2007">20000</price></car>
    <car><make>Ford</make><model>Mustang</model>
        <price year="2008">17000</price></car>
    <car><make>Mercedes</make><model>C-Class</model>
        <price year="2009">24000</price></car>
</cars>

/car[price>20000]/make/model
/car[price>=20000 and @year>=2009]/make/model
//car[price>=20000 and @year>2008]/model
/cars/car[price>=20000 and price[@year>'2008']]/model

NOTE: XPather shows that all answers are incorrect. Report the question.

Q32. You are working with an XML document that uses an XML schema. How do you ensure that an attribute must be specified for its corresponding element?

Set the type attribute to xs:required.
Set the use attribute to required.

Set the minOccurs attribute to 1.

Reference: XSD Attributres

Q33. You are working with the following XML code snippet. What do you need to include in your XSLT code to display `Mercedes, Cadillac, Ford`?

<cars>
    <car><make>Cadillac</make><model>Escalade</model>
        <price year="2007">20000</price></car>
    <car><make>Ford</make><model>Mustang</model>
        <price year="2008">17000</price></car>
    <car><make>Mercedes</make><model>C-Class</model>
        <price year="2009">24000</price></car>
</cars>

<xsl:sort select="make" />
<xsl:sort select="model" />
<xsl:sort select="car" />
<xsl:sort select="price" />

Explanation: A trick question. The <xsl:sort> will sort the output in ascending (alphabetical for strings) order by default. The select tells which tag to use for sorting.

If we use select="make" or select="year" we get the order Cadillac, Ford, Mercedes
If we use select="price" we get Ford, Cadillac, Mercedes
And finally, with select="model" we get Mercedes, Cadillac, Ford

Q34. What is the correct syntax for comments in XQuery?

/* */

//
(: :)

Element
Document
EntityReference
DocumentFragment

Q36. XHTML modules can be extended by adding elements, and attributes, modifying content models, or some combination of these. What does a proper implementation of an XHTML module require?

The implementation of an XHTML module requires an extension module and a validation module that ensures that the XHTML is well-formed and valid; otherwise, the extended instances aren't formally XHTML.
The implementation of an XHTML module requires a definitions module and a constraint module that specifies syntax rules and uses the parameter entities declared in the definitions module.
The implementation of an XHTML module requires a qualified name module and a declaration module that holds the element, element attribute, and content model declarations.
The implementation of an XHTML module requires a namespace module that holds the element, element attribute, and content model declarations and a parameter module that uses the entities declared in the namespace module.

Q37. The `<xsl:namespace-alias>` element is used to replace a namespace in the style sheet with a different namespace in the output. Which XSLT element needs to be its parent node?

<xsl:namespace>
any valid element
root element
top-level element in the corresponding namespace
