Is XML considered Object Oriented Programming?? I recently learned C++ Object Oriented Programming and would like to know if this knowledge of C++ will help me learn XML.

Well XML isn't 'programming' anyway is it- it's a means of structuring and holding data.
If you use say VB, you would have a line like:
Dim xml_document As New DOMDocument
and your XML document would be an object to VB, as it would to C++ with the appropriate syntax to create the XML document.
But that doesn't make XML object-oriented in itself.

Well, I would argue that Jim... At least to some extent.
You're right, XML by its meaningfull self is just a way of structuring data.
But, if you go into schema development, you'll see that there are striking resemblances between schema definitions and object definitions/declarations.
I think the newPerson could make use of the OOP knowledge in developping schemas, which ARE actually Object oriented. [red]Nosferatu[/red]
