Abstract

Web Services recently emerged as the ideal choice for building distributed applications in heterogeneous environments where competing technologies (such as the Object Management Group's Corba, Microsoft's Distributed Component Object Model, or Sun's Java Remote Method Invocation) never really caught on. Web Services employ XML to facilitate communication in distributed heterogeneous systems. XML's easy-to-interpret format is perfect for building interoperable systems. In the unlikely case that an XML parser doesn't already exist in your programming environment, you can implement it in a breeze. Moreover, XML syntax is humanreadable-a highly desirable property for debugging sessions. In short, using XML simplifies computer-computer interaction so that distributed applications can more easily share data.
