You express the XML snippits wrong, it should be

<client>
<name>bill</name>
<children>
<child>
<name>jon</name>
</child>
<child>
<name>joe</name>
</child>
</children>
</client>

<client>
<name>bill</name>
<child>
<name>jon</name>
</child>
<child>
<name>joe</name>
</child>
</client>

The first structure is weel structured, the second isn't.

[WEB400] Basic question on XML structure

Hi all,

A little inexperienced in xml here.

Compare these 2 structures :

<client>
<name>bill</name>
<children>
<child>
<name>jon</name>
</child>
<child>
<name>joe</name>
</child>
</children>
</client>

<client>
<name>bill</name>
<child>
<name>jon</name>
</child>
<child>
<name>joe</name>
</child>
</client>

Are there any advantages or disadvantages to using or not using the
element <children>?

We do not use attributes.

Thanks.
