Abstract
Methods and computer products provide for an efficient XML namespace analysis and parsing. Extensible Markup Language (XML) structure of an XML document is passed through an XML parser as plain text, and the result is an internal data structure that represents the XML. The XML parser keeps track of all mappings of prefixes-to-namespaces as it is parsing the tree of XML tags in the text. A design tool application may be use to modify the parsed data structure by moving XML tags to different locations, by adding new XML tags, or by deleting XML tags. After modifications are complete, and the user wants to save a file, the XML may be re-written as text. The mappings of prefixes-to-namespaces are advantageous during output so that each XML tag is associated with the correct prefix.
