Working with the XML transforms
XML provides a standard method for the exchange and processing of data across
different computing platforms. XML data is structured according to standards from
the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Specifically designed for Web
applications, XML differs from HTML in that, while HTML contains information
about how data is formatted for presentation on Web pages, XML contains data
with no presentation information. A W3C standard stylesheet language, called
Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL), uses formatting objects to describe how
XML data is presented. XML data containing XSL formatting objects is called
XSL-FO. XSL-FO describes document presentation details, such as pagination,
layout, and styling information.
Using the XML transforms with InfoPrint Manager
XML has become the key standard in the deployment of new technologies for Web
services, data interchange, messaging, and application integration. Support for
XML is found in several printing products, including XML Extender and Print
Services Facility
™
(PSF) for z/OS.
The XML transforms are the preferred method for printing highly-dynamic XML
data on AFP printers because the transforms can efficiently process data that
changes from job to job. The XML transforms are also an efficient, cost-effective
alternative to paper-based communication because it can transform XML data to
PDF documents for electronic delivery to customers.
Other benefits of using
xml2afp
and
xml2pdf
to transform XML data to AFP or
PDF include:
v
You can use your existing AFP output system to print or view your XML data
without worrying about compatibility issues.
v
The XML transforms provide you with significant formatting flexibility for your
XML documents.
v
Print delivery is guaranteed when you transform your XML data to AFP and
then print to an AFP printer.
v
Once XML data is transformed, you can use different tools to:
– Print to an AFP printer or transform AFP data to PostScript (PS) or printer
control language (PCL) for printing on a PS or PCL printer.
– Send PDF data to an electronic destination.
– View or archive AFP or PDF data.
The XML transforms let you take advantage of XML for data interchange and
content management while using AFP's print and presentation technology and
PDF's electronic document exchange. Figure 20 on page 184 shows what you can
do with XML data when you use the XML transforms.
