Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a universal standard for sharing data between applications. XML is most appropriate for situations where the volume of data is generally small, as the data is transmitted as text, and controlling the structure of the data is important. You can use FileMaker Pro 8 or Server 8 Advanced to export XML over the web to a variety of other applications.
In addition, you can export XML data from FileMaker Pro 8 to an assortment of applications simply by applying the appropriate Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT) style sheet. Choose from style sheets for Microsoft Excel, Rich Text Format (RTF), Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), and many others. See the FileMaker XSLT Library.
