4. Explain the concept of XLink in XML, which is a standard that allows for the
creation of hyperlinks within XML documents, enabling the linking of resources
and facilitating navigation between different pieces of information. Define the

highlighting its key components, which include the XMLHttpRequest object for 2+3+3+
10
sending requests to the server, JavaScript for processing the data, and HTML/CSS 2

elements such as variables, which are defined with a dollar sign followed by the
variable name; data types, including strings, integers, and arrays; operators for
performing calculations and comparisons; and comments, which can be added for
clarification and documentation. Provide a code example that demonstrates these
