XML Namespace

An XML Namespace is a way to avoid naming conflicts in XML documents. When different elements or attributes from different sources have the same name, it can lead to confusion. By using a namespace, you can group related elements and give them a unique identifier, typically a URL. This allows multiple sets of data to coexist within the same document without interfering with each other. For example, you could have a “book” element from one source and a “book” element from another, each clearly distinct due to their namespaces.
