The XHTML WYSIWYG Editor For Desktop & Web Applications

Web Services

Web Services are applications that run on the server. They communicate with other computers, using a dialect of XML called SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol). Typically, business users do not interact directly with Web Services. Instead, they interact with user-friendly programs that themselves communicate with Web Services. XStandard uses Web Services for uploading files from the local computer to the server, for referencing files located on remote servers, for communicating with 3rd-party systems (such as your CMS), and for spell checking.

Web Services functionality is only available in XStandard Pro. The following table describes the type of Web Services that XStandard Pro can communicate with.
