7.3. The heavyweight champion: XML

You've already seen how a server can return XML in response to your request:

 PHP script <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  <totals>     <boards-sold>1710</boards-sold>     <boots-sold>315</boots-sold>     <bindings-sold>85</bindings-sold> </totals> Here's the XML that the Boards 'R' Us server sent back in Chapter 6. 

You work with XML using the DOM.
