Extensible Markup Language (XML)
NonStop products. For an overview of all these other components of a complete J2EE 
environment, consult the Sun Microsystems J2EE website.
Extensible Markup Language (XML)
The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is the universal format for structured 
documents and data on the web. XML is extensible, platform-independent and is 
similar to HTML in that XML uses tags and attributes.
Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)
Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) is a lightweight protocol for exchange of 
information in a decentralized, distributed environment. SOAP is an XML-based 
protocol that consists of three parts: an envelope that defines a framework for 
describing what is in a message and how to process it, a set of encoding rules for 
expressing instances of application-defined datatypes, and a convention for 
representing remote procedure calls and responses.
