XML Toolkit for iSeries (5733-XT1)

XML is widely touted as a solution to the problem of information exchange
between applications and within B2B environments. It is simple, extensible, and
non-proprietary. XML parser APIs assist in the creation, navigation, or
modification of XML document content.
