Element

From JAXXWiki

An XML element is a "tag" in an XML file. Elements may have zero or more attributes which provide additional information. In the following XML code:

<JButton label='Cancel' onActionPerformed='dispose()'/>

there is one XML element, JButton, and two attributes, label and onActionPerformed.

Most elements within JAXX files are class tags, and therefore mean "create an object with this name". The example above creates a JButton with the label "Cancel", and the button will close its containing window when clicked.
