About XML and PowerBuilder
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 chapter on exporting
and importing XML in the PowerBuilder Users Guide.
For information about the XML parsing functions, see their
descriptions in the online Help.
This chapter describes how you can produce and process XML
documents using the PowerBuilder Document Object Model.
