speaker_1HOST
He provides a highly structured anatomical framework for any non-trivial prompt.
speaker_1HOST
If you are doing real work, your prompt should consist of distinct parts, and they should be separated by XML tags.
speaker_0HOST
Yes, XML tags.
speaker_0HOST
This is such a crucial part of the book.
speaker_1HOST
It really is.
speaker_0HOST
For anyone who isn't a developer, XML tags are just brackets around words,
speaker_1HOST
like
speaker_0HOST
a less than sign, the word context, and a greater than sign.
Gunnar MorlingGUEST
[laughs]
Adam BienHOST
But, um, but, um, of course HTML is, uh, XML.
Gunnar MorlingGUEST
Mm-hmm.
Adam BienHOST
So if you have, uh, you can have XML, you can have well-formed HTML which is XML, and the cool story is Java 25 ships with, um, XML built in.
Gunnar MorlingGUEST
Mm-hmm.
Adam BienHOST
So this is just a Java 25 executable script, HTML DB.
Gunnar MorlingGUEST
Okay.
Adam BienHOST
You'll find a script and, um, but now the crazy part.
Ran ChenHOST
Converting semi-structured records, lists, nested JSON, XML, and web API responses into structured relational tables is a critical Power Query transformation tested on the PL-300 Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst exam.
Ran ChenHOST
When importing data from REST APIs, JSON files, or XML documents, Power Query frequently imports the payload as a nested hierarchy of records, lists, or child tables rather than a flat tabular layout.
Ran ChenHOST
On the PL-300 exam, you will encounter performance and data modeling questions that evaluate your ability to flatten these complex structures while maintaining proper data grain, preserving primary keys, and avoiding memory-intensive data duplication.
Ran ChenHOST
When Power Query ingests a JSON array or web response, it typically creates a single column named Value containing list objects.
Ran ChenHOST
The exam will present a scenario with inflated report totals and ask you to identify the root cause, which is almost always an improper sequential list expansion in Power Query.
Ran ChenHOST
To remember how each structure behaves during transformation, use the memorable phrase, "Records expand outward, lists expand downward." Record expansion adds columns horizontally without changing row counts, whereas list expansion adds rows vertically unless you extract values using delimiters.
Ran ChenHOST
When working with XML sources, Power Query represents XML elements as nested tables and XML attributes as record fields.
Ran ChenHOST
You must first expand the table column to access element values and then expand record fields if attribute metadata is required.
Mfon AkpanHOST
However, the whole thing is working with agents, designing the agents.
Mfon AkpanHOST
We've got JavaScript, XML code that we're running.
Mfon AkpanHOST
But most of the time I'm dealing with agentic frameworks and AI issues.
Mfon AkpanHOST
So I'm like, what am I doing? Is this accounting? And what I'm realizing is that I'm watching things really kind of evolve.
Mfon AkpanHOST
A lot of what we're working on is what they call AI engineering, really orchestrating The workflows and how the agents will work at that layer between the accounting and then the AI is AI engineering putting the things the systems together for the AI to work in a particular orchestration is what they call it.
Mfon AkpanHOST
And you don't have to, you know, because I'm thinking, well, I can't code in Python.
Mfon AkpanHOST
I'm all right in R. I can use Java and, you know, XML code, but that's perfect because Java and the XML, that helps with the, you know, the agent directives, if you understand how that works.
Mfon AkpanHOST
So that's all part of the...
Haim OrenHOST
Great.
Haim OrenHOST
So let me start by asking you, what is exactly the smart approach and how does digitally enhanced standards content different from the PDF and XML documents that most standard users work with today?
Francis PernelGUEST
All right.
Francis PernelGUEST
So, well, let me start with a simple definition.
Francis PernelGUEST
Smart is about making IEC and ISO standard easier to find, navigate, connect, and use in a digital environment.
Francis PernelGUEST
Wow.
Francis PernelGUEST
Today, many users still receive standards primarily as PDF or XML documents.
Francis PernelGUEST
Those formats remain very important, and SMART is not about replacing them.
Ramon SalcidoNARRATOR
Therefore, it's advisable to establish a receiving review process with at least the following steps.
Ramon SalcidoNARRATOR
I require the XML file.
Ramon SalcidoNARRATOR
The PDF is only a visual representation.
Ramon SalcidoNARRATOR
The stamped XML file contains the tax information that must be preserved and validated.
Ramon SalcidoNARRATOR
Compare against the transaction.
Ramon SalcidoNARRATOR
Concepts, quantities, prices, date, currency, and conditions must match the contract, purchase order, goods receipt, deliverables, or evidence of service.
Kurt KempleGUEST
So once I got introduced to coding, I needed to continue to source information and libraries didn't always have it, but we'd get book catalogs.
Kurt KempleGUEST
I read like XML for dummies.
Kurt KempleGUEST
I read like... which isn't even a protocol that's really used anymore, but I didn't know at the time, you know? So I was just reading books on whatever.
Kurt KempleGUEST
Whatever I get my hands on.
Brian KardellGUEST
...
Brian KardellGUEST
this is just gonna be the way we do it, XML, XSLT, XPath, XQuery, XLink, XPointer.
Brian KardellGUEST
[chuckles]
Steve FaulknerHOST
[chuckles] Yeah.
Steve FaulknerHOST
There was other priorities that the, uh, web was looking at.
Steve FaulknerHOST
Can you speak to, to that? I mean, am I wrong?
Brian KardellGUEST
I think it's interesting, right? Like if you, if you think about it, like I, I think that when you look at W3C when it was founded, I think like XML, the whole world was behind XML, right? I mean, like there was-
Steve FaulknerHOST
Right
Yacine MahdidHOST
Uh, i- is there ano- a- any other format, like a wacky format that you, you've tried to say, like, I don't know, like generating, uh...
Yacine MahdidHOST
What, what did I say? Like generating, [chuckles] like raw HTML website or even like a XML type of structure, um, uh, over the content, right? Same content, but like an XML structure or same content in a HTML, uh, structure, or like same content but in a kinda discussion format a la like, um, like a, like a forum type of stuff, right? Like a Reddit or Hacker News.
Yacine MahdidHOST
Um, have you explored like different other, um, ways of, uh, of, uh, creating these, uh, these prompt?
Joel NiklausGUEST
Yeah.
Joel NiklausGUEST
So I've, I've tried these nine ones.
Joel NiklausGUEST
Yeah, just like thinking about how I, how, how I would rephrase it that, that like makes sense, right? Um, XML, HTML, I didn't try.
Joel NiklausGUEST
Um, usually in, in, um, pre-training you, you do the opposite, right? Like you extract the text from the HTML and from the XML, and it's probably also not measured by the benchmarks, um, like to what extent the model can generate HTML or XML, right? Like in the ones that I, that we measure, right? So there you would, you would probably see no gain for that.
Joel NiklausGUEST
If you have like benchmarks that actually measure that, then uh, I guess it would be useful.
speaker_4HOST
Okay, walk me through that.
speaker_5GUEST
During static analysis, the manifest you extract is a compiled, compressed binary XML file.
speaker_5GUEST
You have to rely on third-party reverse engineering tools to decompile and reconstruct it.
speaker_4HOST
And those aren't perfect.
speaker_5GUEST
Exactly.
speaker_5GUEST
Sometimes those tools fail, or the malware author intentionally corrupts the binary XML headers specifically to break your decompilers.
speaker_4HOST
Ah, I see where this is going.
speaker_4HOST
The operating system have to know how to read it to execute the app, regardless of what tricks the author played.
