<< Constructing XML Elements >>

• XSLT and JSP use XML syntax for both logic and creating XML. (Verbose, hard-to-read.)
• XQuery uses functional syntax for logic, and XML syntax for element construction. (Less integrated.)
• In the Lisp world, we can use S-expressions (SXML). (No dynamic validation or static typing.)
• LAML maps each HTML tag to a mirror function with the same name.
• Calling a mirror function generates a node object.
