PowerBuilder provides several features that enable you to work with the Extensible Markup Language (XML). You can:
-
Export the data in a DataWindow object to XML, and import data in an XML document or string into a DataWindow object
-
Determine whether an XML document or string is well-formed or conforms to a schema or DTD using the XMLParseFile and XMLParseString PowerScript functions
-
Build applications and components that can produce and process XML documents
For an overview of XML and information about the export and import capabilities in the DataWindow, see the section called “Exporting and Importing XML Data” in Users Guide.
For information about the XML parsing functions, see the section called “XMLParseFile” in PowerScript Reference and the section called “XMLParseString” in PowerScript Reference.
This chapter describes how you can produce and process XML documents using the PowerBuilder Document Object Model.
