Extensible Markup Language (XML) has become
the internet's de-facto
data-interchange language. However, because XML is based on open
standards,
many different customized implementations have been introduced over time. |

If you want to leverage XML data in your
applications but
are having a hard time getting the data into exactly the right format,
custom xml filter databases can
help. These systems act as conversion utilities,
programmatically addressing differences in syntax and structure.
- import web service data into your applications using
SOAP, WSDL
- use regular expressions to parse
other types of non-SOAP XML documents
-
combine and relate different types of information from different data
sources
- export calculated,
aggregated, filtered, validated, re-formatted data
Being able to use FileMaker's calculation engine to parse and
re-assemble data into a designated target format provides an incredible amount of flexibility, making it possible to read, manipulate, and write data in practically any type of
desired output.

Don't let the over-complexity of XML slow you down. Use
these utilities when you want to precisely import, merge, clean,
re-format, and publish XML data, modify or add elements or attributes,
or use filtered XML data in your applications and reporting solutions.
