What is SyncML (Synchronization Markup Language)?
SyncML is the leading open industry standard for universal synchronization of remote data and personal information across multiple networks, platforms and devices. The SyncML initiative recently consolidated into the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA), contributing their technical work to the OMA technical Working Groups: Device Management Working Group and Data Synchronization Working Group. SyncML’s goal is to have networked data that support synchronization with any mobile device, and mobile devices that support synchronization with any networked data. SyncML is intended to work on transport protocols as diverse as HTTP, WSP (part of WAP) and OBEX and with data formats ranging from personal data (e.g. vCard & vCalendar) to relational data and XML documents.
