LINQ - XML

LINQ to XML ofrece fácil acceso a todas las funcionalidades de LINQ, como operadores de consultas estándar, interfaz de programación, etc. Integrado en el marco .NET, LINQ to XML también hace el mejor uso de las funcionalidades del marco .NET como depuración, verificación en tiempo de compilación, tipificación segura y muchos más que decir.

Introducción de LINQ to XML

Al usar LINQ to XML, cargar documentos XML en la memoria es fácil y más fácil es consultar y modificar documentos. También es posible guardar en disco documentos XML existentes en la memoria y serializarlos. Elimina la necesidad de que un desarrollador aprenda el lenguaje de consulta XML, que es algo complejo.

LINQ to XML tiene su poder en el espacio de nombres System.Xml.Linq. Tiene las 19 clases necesarias para trabajar con XML. Estas clases son las siguientes.

• XAttribute
• XCData
• XComment
• XContainer
• XDeclaration
• XDocument
• XDocumentType
• XElement
• XName
• XNamespace
• XNode
• XNodeDocumentOrderComparer
• XNodeEqualityComparer
• XObject
• XObjectChange
• XObjectChangeEventArgs
• XObjectEventHandler
• XProcessingInstruction
• XText
