In this chapter, you'll learn how to access and manipulate XML data. Knowing how to work with XML data is important in using the .NET Framework effectively. The FCL's support for XML is mainly contained in the System.Xml namespace. This namespace contains objects to parse, validate, and manipulate XML. You can read and write XML, use XPath to navigate through an XML document, or check to see whether a particular document is valid XML by using the objects in the System.Xml namespace.
