Description |
|---|---|
|
This specification defines the XAML Schema Information Set information items for the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) XAML Vocabulary. The information items in the XAML Schema Information Set presented in this specification can be used in conjunction with MS-XAML to determine whether any particular XAML instance or XML document is valid WPF XAML. New to this release are items supported by .NET Framework 4.8. |
|
|
This specification defines two abstract information models: the XAML Schema Information Set model and the XAML Information Set model. The XAML Information Set (‘XAML Infoset’ for short) defines the structure of information that a XAML instance can represent. The XAML Schema Information Set allows specific XAML vocabularies to be defined. This specification also defines a set of rules for transforming an XML document into a XAML Information Set. |
