MSXML
Microsoft XML Core Services ( MSXML ) is a programming interface that allows the development of native Windows programs with XML support in the programming environments JScript , VBScript and other Microsoft development environments. It supports XML in version 1.0, DOM , SAX , XSLT , XML Schemas in XSD and XDR, as well as other technologies belonging to XML.
MSXML is a set of stand-alone products, each published and supported by Microsoft:
-
MSXML 6.0 : MSXML6 is the latest MSXML product and is shipped (along with MSXML3) with Microsoft SQL Server and Windows operating systems.
As of this version, XDR ( XML Data Reduced schemas ) is no longer supported. Therefore, this version is not backwards compatible with 3 and 4. - MSXML 5.0 : MSXML5 is a binary version specifically for Microsoft Office .
- MSXML 4.0 : MSXML4 was offered as a separate, downloadable SDK for software companies. An MSI package is available for the German language , but no merge package (MSM) for integration into the setup of a software product.
- MSXML 3.0 : MSXML3 is an up-to-date MSXML product that can be found in the form of the msxml3.dll file on Windows operating systems.
- MSXML 2.5 and 2.6 : are early versions of MSXML, recognizable by the files msxml.dll and msxml2.dll. They are no longer supported by Microsoft and the exported CLSIDs have been withdrawn by MSXML 3.0.
