| General / Introduction to Web Services | |
Web services are platform-independent and programming language-independent. The World Wide Web consortium defines the Web services standards. For more information about these standards, refer to the "Web services" section of their web site at http://www.w3.org. The Genero Web Services package supports the WSDL 1.1 specification of March 15, 2002 as well as some previous specifications.
The standards involved in what is commonly called "Web services" include XML, XML Schema, SOAP, WSDL, and HTTP.
