XML
XML (Extensible Markup Language, www.w3.org/XML/) is a generic model for the structuring of data. XML has a generic syntax (markup) to display elements of the model in a text format. The display in text format enables the display of structured data without using the program that created this data. ABAP data can be transformed to XML and back using XSL transformations and simple transformations.
