TLDR
XML is the lingua franca of the wireless Web and is already being used for a host of server-server communication applications, which make it possible for different data servers to easily exchange information.
Abstract
XML is the lingua franca of the wireless Web. Its strength is in its generality: XML can describe virtually any kind of structured data. Once described, the data can be presented in other formats. Moreover, XML is already being used for a host of server-server communication applications, which make it possible for different data servers to easily exchange information. The trend toward a common format for representing data will doubtlessly present new opportunities for both Web and wireless Web clients.
