XML Extender Administration and Programming


XML applications

Because XML is now the accepted standard for data interchange, many applications are emerging that will be able to take advantage of it.

Suppose you are using a particular project management application and you want to share some of its data with your calendar application. With XML, this can be done with ease. In today's interconnected world, an application vendor will not be able to compete unless it provides XML interchange utilities built into its applications. So, in this example, your project management application could export tasks in XML, which could then be imported as is into your calendar application (if the information conforms to an accepted DTD).
