All communication with our products is done via XML documents (data files). XML (Extensible Markup Language) is the language of the Internet and by using XML we bring two key benefits: 1) XML is an open standard. You will not be trapped with a proprietary protocol. 2) XML is supported by leading databases, spreadsheets and other software. Allowing you to import into databases with ease, and use your acquired data any way you wish.
