👉 XLink (pronounced "x-link") is a type of semantic web markup language used to express data in a hierarchical manner, much like XML but with additional semantics added. It allows for rich data representations that can include images, audio, video, documents, and other types of content.
XLink uses the following syntax:
```
text
http://example.com/
Hello, World!
image
http://example.com/my-image.jpg
Hello, World!
image
http://example.com/my-image.jpg
Hello, World!
```
In this example:
- `` elements represent individual nodes in the XLink tree, which are then nested inside other nodes. Each node has a unique ID that is assigned at its top level.
- `rel` elements represent relationships between nodes in the XLink tree.
- The `` element contains additional data for each node, such as the type of content (e.g., text) or an image URL.
XLink allows users to embed and manipulate structured data that can be referenced within the document. This information can include images, documents, videos, audio files, and more. For example, you can use XLink to create a navigation menu for a website with links to different content sources such as images, videos, and other data.
XLink is commonly used in web applications and tools for rich content embedding, data retrieval, and analysis. It's particularly useful when dealing with large amounts of structured data or complex content needs.
