XML Data Exchange Using ABAP: Quickly master key data exchange standards and best practices

Data exchange using XML technologies is revolutionizing the integration of applications and processes. Due to the performance and/or complexity of transformations that must be carried out, ABAP mappings on the SAP Web Application Server will increasingly be required.

Based on a variety of interface examples, readers are provided with highly detailed descriptions of all XML technologies including XML Library, XSLT (with a specific focus on XSLT 2.0 extensions), and Simple Transformations. Volumes of code samples enable you to implement your own data exchange scenarios and select the appropriate technologies to support them. In addition, readers benefit from best practices for data exchange and from practical guidance on all aspects of software development—including specification, testing, data validation via Java integration, and more.

Highlights include:

• XML Technologies and Data Exchange
• XML Library
• XSL Transformations (XSLT)
