XMLports
XML (eXtensible Markup Language), a structured text format developed to describe data to be shared by dissimilar systems. XML has become a standard for communications between systems. To make handling XML-formatted data simpler and more error resistant, NAV provides XMLports, a data import/export object. In addition to processing XML-formatted data, XMLports can also handle a wide variety of other text file formats, including CSV files, generic flat files, and so on. XML-formatted data is text based, with each piece of information structured in one of two basic formats: Elements or Attributes. An Element is the overall logical unit of information, while an Attribute is a property of an Element. They are formatted as follows:
<Tag>elementvalue</Tag>(an Element format)<Tag AttribName="attribute datavalue">(an Attribute format))
Note
Elements can be nested, but must not overlap. Element and Attribute names are case-sensitive. Names cannot start with a number, punctuation...
