Since XML files are essentially, simple text files with well-known encodings, and since there exist XML parsers for all commonly used programming languages, XML data can be easily consumed by any platform.

10 Basic Requirements In Choosing A Good ASP Hosting Account
 By Terence Lau
In the world of internet application, solutions are greater than products. Individuals and companies are still investing in web technologies, but they are investing in solutions with demonstrated benefits. If you are looking for top-notch ASP hosting solutions that helps you to deliver quick productivity and profitability, you need the necessary hosting foundation and ASP tools to help you plan and achieve your deliverables for your site.

2) Look for Microsoft certification
Choose hosting providers with the knowledge and proficiency in managing and implementing ASP, ASP.net and other Microsoft related solutions. Any of certification below ensures that your ASP site is backed and support by a team of qualified professionals.

3) Check the PHP, Perl & MYSQL details
At some point in time when you are designing or developing your website, you may want to consider integrating and running certain sub folders or web pages using PHP instead. This can be particular true when you want to develop high-end forum. ASP may have all the features to do a very accepting forum, but integrating ASP with MS Access database may just be too clumsy since it has very limited concurrent user sessions. While you can consider integrating it with SQL server, but the end of the implementation, you may just abandon it to find out SQL server is just too pricy for a forum. On certain internet application, the most cost effective implementation may not be ASP. Hence, consider hosting companies that offer PHP, Perl and MySQL database as part of the plan. Please note that MySQL database and Microsoft SQL server is a different database system. Read the details carefully before you sign up.
4) Provide you at least 15 useful ASP components.
 The more ASP components your site can use, the more scalable and more functional your website can be. With so many ASP components products available on the market nowadays, you can effortlessly find ASP hosting plans that comes with ServerObjects, Persits, or Advanced Intellect ASP components. Make sure that you check the default ASP components can be used as well. Most hosting companies provide you the option to register components. Make sure this is allowed. Download this script and run it on your site to view the available components in your hosting account.
5) Offers SQL Server option
In terms of sheer database dependability and power, it doesn't get much better than the relational database, Microsoft SQL Server. Be sure to ask if the plan consists of MS SQL Server. You may not need it at the moment since MS Access is available. But don't be too sure. You possibly will it when your site traffic grows bigger than 2000 unique visitors per day. If your choose a better ASP hosting account, most probably MS SQL server is included. If you are familiar with MS Access, you can easily understand how to use MS SQL Server. So make sure MS SQL Server is part of your hosting plan. Take note that MS SQL Server Express 2005 will be out soon to reduce the complexity for build simple application websites.
