Although this chapter concentrates on configuration files, other applications use XML-based scripting language extensively. Some examples include

• XSL (the XML Stylesheet Language) , which is a simple but powerful scripting language used to manipulate XML documents. With its roots firmly at the W3C, XSL is written in XML.

• WebMethods has developed at least two XML-based scripting languages: WIDL and Flow . Both extract information from Web sites. You can find more information about them at http://www.webmethods.com.

• Miva is an application server similar to ASP, except that it uses an XML scripting language instead of VBScript. You can find more information about it at http://www.miva.com.
