Chapter 14. SOAP

XML’s openness allows it to be implemented on any platform. Between the clear nature of XML and the ease at which you can deliver content over the Web, you can easily use XML to distribute content to a wide audience.

Imagine an order-entry system for a company with a heterogenous computing environment in locations all over the world. While you could write client software for every platform that you support, a preferable solution might be to deliver XML content over the Web and have an order-entry client that parses the XML, displays the results, and posts any changes back to the server via XML.

If you think that such an idea might be a workable one, but fear writing such a thing for yourself from scratch, you might consider trying SOAP or Frontier (XML-RPC2).
