About FileMaker and XML
XML (along with its companion technology, XSLT), is the driving technology behind FileMakers Custom Web Publishing (CWP). FileMaker Server Advanced can serve out FileMaker data as XML, for use in applications that require XML data. It can also transform the XML data extracted using XSLT stylesheets, to create a variety of output formats, including, of course, an HTML presentation layer.
This section is a reference guide to FileMaker XML syntax. We cover the following areas:
- URL syntax for accessing FileMaker data over the Web
- Syntax of the various FileMaker XML grammars
- FileMaker URL query commands and query string parameters
- Important XML namespaces for use with Custom Web Publishing
We do not cover in detail all of the XSLT extension functions available in Custom Web Publishing.
