1. What is an XML Resolver?
Code that mediates between your application and the resources that it attempts to retrieve.
Your parser asks for a DTD:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd
Or your application loads a schema:
https://www.w3.org/2001/datatypes.xsd
Or your application loads a stylesheet:
https://cdn.docbook.org/release/xsltng/current/xslt/docbook.xsl
