What's Next?

In this chapter I've covered XML and related technologies, including DOM, SAX, XSLT, XML schemas, XPath, and a few more. You've seen how Delphi simplifies DOM programming with XML access using interfaces and XML transformations. I've also discussed the use of XSL for web programming, introducing the XSLT support of WebSnap and the Internet Express architecture.

Chapter 23 will continue the discussion of XML with one of the most interesting and promising technologies of the last few years: web services. I'll cover SOAP and WSDL, and also introduce UDDI and other related technologies. If you are interested in the topics discussed here from the Delphi perspective, you should refer to books specifically devoted to XML, XML schemas, and XSLT.
