XML is a widely used open standard; an easy and flexible way to create common information formats, and ideal for sharing pure data over the Internet, intranets, and elsewhere. By using open standards we ensure that our services are as useful and compliant with users systems and technologies as possible.

The XML Data Service physically resides at the NetDania Cloud and returns data in an XML format upon HTTP requests. Customers who wish to access the market data from, for instance, ASP.NET MVC (.NET web technologies) can for example use XML parsers like XElements/Linq-to-Xml/Xml (de)serializers to display the market data integrated directly into their own documents and/or components, in the most flexible way.

The XML Data Service can also, as mentioned above, be accessed easily from any other programming language and technology such as Java (Servlets, JSP), PHP, Javascript, Node.js, iOS Objective-C/Swift as well. Most programming languages and web/desktop/server technologies support XML formats by usually having embedded libraries to parse/interpret the data from them. It is as easy as plugging in received data into one of these parsers to be able to retrieve NetDania Cloud data.
