In software, an XML Pipeline is formed when XML (Extensible Markup Language) processes, especially XML transformations and XML validations, are connected.
For instance, given two transformations T1 and T2, the two can be connected so that an input XML document is transformed by T1 and then the output of T1 is fed as input document to T2. Simple pipelines like the one described above are called linear; a single input document always goes through the same sequence of transformations to produce a single output document.
