iXML ABAP Objects Jumpstart
iXML ABAP Objects Jumpstart
Purpose
This section will give you an overview and introduction about how to use the iXML library in an ABAP Objects environment.
This introduction cannot cover all topics in detail. It is also necessary to have a fair understanding of XML and the Document Object Model in general. The first three sections will address some of these issues, but obtaining further background information will probably be necessary. The first section will give you some links to additional documents and Web sites. For a complete listing of all interfaces and methods and a more detailed description of their features please refer to the
XML API documentation.Features
The different programming aspects of using XML in your application are covered in subsections, each one addressing a particular issue. To avoid unnecessary repetitions the sections are build on top of each other. So if you have the time, you might want to read the sections in the order given.
