What is XML Namespace?

Answer
An XSL sheet or a document may have duplicate elements and attributes. Therefore, the XML namespaces define a way to distinguish between duplicate element types and attribute names.
An XML namespace is a collection of element type and attribute names. It is a URI due to which any element type or attribute name in an XML namespace can be uniquely identified.
It consists of two parts : the name of the XML namespace and the local name.

e.g.: xmlns: h=”http://www.abc.com”
After this, you can write
<h:table>
……..
</h:table>
to associate the table with the declared namespace.
