Namespaces in XML

Namespaces in XML are a way to avoid confusion when using the same names for different elements or attributes. They act as unique identifiers, allowing you to distinguish between elements that may otherwise look the same. For example, if two different groups use an element called "item," namespacing lets us clarify which "item" belongs to which group by associating it with a specific identifier, like a URL. This ensures that XML documents remain clear and unambiguous, especially when combining data from various sources.
