What is XML?

XML stands for extensible Markup Language. It is a markup language much like HTML.
HTML was designed to display data and to focus on how data looks. XML was designed to describe data and to focus on what data is.
The following are characteristics of XML:

  • XML tags are not predefined. You must define your own tags
  • XML uses an XML Schema is designed to be self-descriptive
  • XML with an XML Schema is designed to be self-descriptive
  • XML is a W3C Standard Recommendation

The XML Browser in the Htek IP phones allows users to create custom services which meet user functional requirements on the server. Users can customize practical applications, such as weather report, stock information and news service, etc.
Htek IP Phone supported objects are:

  • TextMenu
  • TextScreen
  • Directory
  • Status
  • Execute
  • FormattedTextScreen
  • InputScreen
  • ImageScreen
  • Configuration
  • ImageMenu

Some of these objects also support customizable softkeys that are declared as an independent object.

How does it work?

Htek has developed the XML browser capability on the phone using the HTTP transport protocol.
You can press the predefined key to trigger the phone initiated application of XML browser. After pressing the key, the IP phone issues an HTTP(s) GET command to the server, waits for the answer, decodes and displays the answer on the LCD screen.
