XML Organization Chart .Net by AASoftech Inc.

What is XML?

XML stands for Extensible Markup Language. Primarily, it describes data that can be processed, stored, exchanged, extracted and updated. It was specifically designed to expand the functionality of Web applications by providing a more flexible and adaptable information identifier encapsulating data that is related to businesses information and businesses rules.

For many businesses it means:

- Simplicity
- Extensibility
- Interoperability

Moreover, XML maintains the ability of displaying data from various different perspectives due to its hierarchical (tree) model.

Why use XML instead of my Organization’s existing Database?

In your own organization; XML is used to detach traditional database fragments to be used in other applications, this is done with external translation/extraction layers that impersonate XML storage by converting it to some other data format.

Often enough, Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) cannot meet all the requirements of distributed applications such as your Intranet, because data is processed independently of its context. Conventional RDBMS may be appropriate for data that fits into rows and columns, but cannot adequately handle nested data structures or complex documents, which are native of typical Web content. In contrast, XML has a hierarchical native structural design (so is the organizational structure at most companies) consequently storing the information in XML is considerably advantageous in order to save time and resources compared with building a hierarchical model from a traditional relation database.
