JBuilder provides several features and incorporates various tools to provide support for the Extensible Markup Language (XML). XML is a platform-independent method of structuring information. Because XML separates the content of a document from the structure, it can be a useful means of exchanging data. For example, XML can be used to transfer data between databases and Java programs. Also, because content and structure are separate, stylesheets can be applied to display the same content in different formats, such as Portable Document Format (PDF), HTML for display in a web browser, and so on. XML features vary by JBuilder edition. JBuilder SE provides these features: manually creating XML documents, viewing XML documents in the XML browser, and validating XML documents. All XML features are included in JBuilder Enterprise. In working with XML, JBuilder separates functionality into several layers: • Creation and validation of XML documents These are features of JBuilder Enterprise: • Presentation of XML documents • Programmatic manipulation of XML documents • Interface to business data in databases
