A Namespace is a set of unique names. Namespace is a mechanisms by which element and


attribute name can be assigned to group. The Namespace is identified by URI
UniformResourceIdentifiers.

Namespace Declaration
A Namspace is declared using reserved attributes. Such an attribute name must either be xmlns
or begin with xmlns: shown as below:
<element xmlns:name="URL">

Syntax
The Namespace starts with the keyword xmlns.
The word name is the Namespace prefix.
The URL is the Namespace identifier.

Example
Namespace affects only a limited area in the document. An element containing the declaration
and all of its descendants are in the scope of the Namespace. Following is a simple example of
XML Namespace:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<cont:contact xmlns:cont="www.tutorialspoint.com/profile">
<cont:name>Tanmay Patil</cont:name>
<cont:company>TutorialsPoint</cont:company>
<cont:phone>(011) 123-4567</cont:phone>
</cont:contact>

Here, the Namespace prefix is cont, and the Namespace identifier URI as
www.tutorialspoint.com/profile. This means, the element names and attribute names with the cont
prefix includingthecontactelement, all belong to the www.tutorialspoint.com/profile namespace.
