C What does a XML Socket Server do?
An XML socket server is a piece of software that resides on the server and ‘listens’ on a ‘port’ for XML information from a client. When it receives information from a client it looks at the XML tags, and then performs some sort of action, such as broadcasting the information to other clients. XML socket servers can do many different tasks, some of them work with databases, others simply ‘echo’ information. An XML socket server can be written in Java, Python, C++ etc, and incorporate any number of features.
