xml

Extensible Markup Language (XML) (experimental)

Description

XML is a structured data-type within Murex.

Wikipedia describes XML usage as:

XML has come into common use for the interchange of data over the Internet. Hundreds of document formats using XML syntax have been developed, including RSS, Atom, Office Open XML, OpenDocument, SVG, COLLADA, and XHTML. XML also provides the base language for communication protocols such as SOAP and XMPP. It is one of the message exchange formats used in the Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) programming technique.

Supported Hooks

• Marshal() Writes minified XML when no TTY detected and indented XML when stdout is a TTY
