Ever feel like nobody is listening to you? Sometimes plain

old English just doesn’t cut it when you’re trying to communicate. You’ve

been using text for all of your requests and responses so far, but it’s time

to break out of our plain-text shells. In this chapter, we’ll dive into XML,

and teach our servers to say a lot more than they ever could with plain text.

As if that’s not enough, you’ll teach your requests XML, too, even though

that’s not always a good idea (more on that inside). Get ready... once you’ve

nished this chapter, your requests and responses will never be the same.

more than just

a pretty face...

I really do have

something to say.
