-WML
is the equivilant to Wireless Products as what
[HTML
] is to a web browser client.
-
-It is
based on [XML
], or rather it is an
[XML] application. If
you're going
from [HTML] to WML, with no prior knowledge of [XML
], chances are you'll find WML *
very*
strict. Just like [HTML] and [XML], WML is read and interpreted by a browser built into the [WAP] device. For [WAP] devices, the browser is
commonly called a
micro browser, indicating that its capabilities are somewhat
limited These
capabilities are of course also limited to the capabilities of the
[WAP] device in which it lives.

+This
is an
[XML
]-
based MarkupLanguage specifically tailored for user agent software running
on [WAP
] devices. (As for any
[XML] application, if
you go
from [HTML] straight
to [
WML], chances are you'll find it __
very__
strict.) The user agents are
commonly referred to as
micro browsers in reference to their WebBrowser-like role but
limited capabilities. The
[WAP] devices they run on often impose even more limitations
.
