Web Service概念和术语 一. Web Service基本的概念 XML (eXtensible Markup Language) XML is used to organize documents and business data. XML files can be stored or transmitted between two applications on a network. Basically, they are just plain text documents that contain special tags that label different parts of a document or fields of data.
