While certainly not a full-blown XML editor, Dreamweaver MX 2004
includes a fair amount of support for XML. This latest release eases the
web designers' transition into the area of structured markup. Many web
designers using Dreamweaver rarely view their code, preferring instead
to stay within the safe confines of the Dreamweaver Design View.
- bonjour
- aurevoir
- rebonjour !
Other
designers frequent Code View
often while writing JavaScript, CSS or simply because they are
well-versed in
HTML and prefer to write code as opposed to the WYSIWIG, drag-and-drop
methods.
Viewing or writing XML files will force the designer into Code View and
may
provide for all the functionality that's needed for web designers
working with
XML.
- hello
- goodbye
- hello again !
This will prevent the need for the web designer to open additional
software such as XML Spy, which is an excellent tool but provides for
more than
what is needed.
Programmers of XML applications that include XML database connectivity or
those creating Web Services will indeed find full-service XML editors to be
the correct choice for their toolbox. For web designers however, it may be
the equivalent of learning how to use a 500w Variable Speed Keyless Chuck
Hammer Drill when a screwdriver will do the job.
Salut Les loulous !
This is not to say,
however, that Dreamweaver is a mere screwdriver capable of performing only
one function. The XML support in Dreamweaver combined with Flash and
ColdFusion provide the means for rich internet applications including RSS
feeds, Flash Remoting, Database Connectivity, Web Services and more. This
article provides a summary of what can be done with Dreamweaver MX 2004 in
the area of XML for the average Web designer.
