...In fact, there are some very compelling benefits to a text-based, human-readable format, Jeff Barr, Amazon Web Services technical program manager, told DBTA. "Any developer knows how to process a string of text. There's no difficult binary encoding; there's nothing hidden. It's literally a flat-out straight string." Such a text-based format also facilitates interaction between organizations, Manes added. "XML provides visibility. Since XML is text-based, a firewall can look at the information, and determine whether or not it is permitted to pass," she said. "A firewall can't necessarily look at a binary format." ...Increasingly, XML is proving its value in supporting communication with large transaction
..Increasingly, XML is proving its value in supporting communication with large transaction environments. Amazon, for example, now processes up to eight million XML calls a day, said Barr. Amazon Web Services, launched in July 2002, enables developers at partner sites --such as publishers and booksellers -- to access a set of programmable interfaces to retrieve and send XML-based data between Amazon and partner sites. "This service didn't exist before XML," said Barr. "If our partners needed specific information, or if they wanted to build a shopping site, they would have to download raw HTML from our site, and then analyze it and parse it. That was a very inefficient process for them, and somewhat expensive for us to support. With XML, they get a much more focused targeted piece of data, rather than just a generic chunk of HTML." Amazon Web Services was built with open source tools, and supports a range of database types and technologies, Barr reported.
