Summary
XML is a powerful specification you can use to describe complex data and make
that data available to many applications. XML used with XSL allows the transforma-
tion of that data into any format imaginable, including HTML. XML schemas define
standards that are used to transfer XML documents among business partners. Using
these tools, you can create Web applications that can be more easily maintained, can
support a wider variety of browsers, and can communicate with virtually any entity
on the Internet. However, increasing the exposure of your data requires careful plan-
ning to secure that data.
