Hi guys I ve got a question that I have seen in a test and I am not sure of the answer. Which is the datastructure that could not (sensibly) be expressed in XML?
 
xml is text based. It has a mother of all type "anyType". For simple types, it has "anySimpleType". So what it cannot "reasonably" expressed? A lot. Any transcendal data like all cantor set, fractal...; denumerable data, apart from some simple integer, positive integer, nonnegative integer etc..., like Fibonacci numbers, Fermat numbers, prime number... and what have you. They all can be assigned to coarse grain anyType. So I think they mean something on the other-side of text-based, like Byte() non-encoded. So the question setters just want to show they are "clever" and expect people to read their model answer. They have a simplistic mind of the world.
