XML enablers
IBM has committed the iSeries server to support XML. This support is
demonstrated by the suite of XML application enablers delivered with i5/OS and
OS/400, providing a core of XML services for applications to build on.
XML is a key technology for business-to-business (B2B) solutions that link
together trading partners, as wello as pervasive computing applications, which
connect mobile devices such as cell phones to core business solutions.
The XML application enablers provided in i5/OS and OS/400 include:
XML parsers for use with Java and C++ applications
XML parsers are a common building block that XML-based solutions use to
work with data in XML format.
XML parsing interfaces for procedural languages such as RPG, COBOL, and
C
These interfaces open the realm of XML to existing solutions, providing an
easy path to extend these solutions with XML support.
