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.
