What’s new about XML support in FileMaker Pro 6?
In the past, accessing FileMaker data as XML required users to make requests to the FileMaker Web Companion from an external application; in other words, it was “pull” only through the Web Companion. Additionally, processing XSLT stylesheets required the user to have installed an XSLT processor on the client machine. With FileMaker Pro 6 the XML capabilities are integrated into the product as import/export menu selections without the need for the Web Companion. Alternatively, the customer can script XML data import and export. Also within FileMaker Pro 6 is an XSLT processor allowing stylesheets can be processed without the need for the customer to install their own.
