Name the query language for reading XML document

  1. Xpath

  2. XmlReader

  3. SQL

  4. xmlPlus
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

To read XML documents, the query language used is XPath.

Option A is correct because XPath is a query language used to navigate and select elements and attributes in an XML document. It provides a syntax for addressing specific parts of an XML document, similar to how directories and files are addressed in a file system.

Option B, XmlReader, is incorrect because XmlReader is a .NET class used to read XML documents, but it is not a query language. It provides a way to read XML data sequentially and extract information from it.

Option C, SQL, is incorrect because SQL is a query language used to interact with relational databases, not XML documents.

Option D, xmlPlus, is incorrect because there is no such query language with that name for reading XML documents.

Therefore, the answer is: A. XPath
