Resource Optimization Using XML

Extensible Markup Language (XML) database is one of the hot areas of research now days. Number of developers and research organizations are working on the capabilities and efficiency of using Extensible Markup Language (XML) database because of its unique structure and processing speed. In any web based database search, there is need of a server side script as well as back-end RDBMS (Relational Database Management System). Generally SQL (Structured Query Language) is used for querying the database. Moreover, the web hosting cost is also very high in various plans using these technologies. XML has an exceptional feature to be used as a database as well as a document. XML document is generally formatted using CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) or XSL (Extensible Stylesheet Language. In this research work, we have compared the capability and efficiency of XML as a database rather than a simple web document. This work is dedicated to the competence of PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) and XML over PHP and MYSQL. In our results, we have proved that XML is giving good results rather than MYSQL.
