XML Fragment Interchange

Candidate Recommendation

Date: Feb. 12, 2001
Link: http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-fragment
Source Author or Organization: W3C

Excerpted from "Scope": "This Recommendation enables interchanging portions of XML documents while retaining the ability to parse them correctly (that is, as they would be parsed in their originating document context), and, as far as practical, to be formatted, edited, and otherwise processed in useful ways."

"The goal of this activity is to define a way to send fragments of an XML document—regardless of whether the fragments are predetermined entities or not—without having to send all of the containing document up to the part in question."
