Web Services
Web Services provide information to web clients, bypassing the traditional HTML forms approach. The information provided is customized based upon the options determined at the time of inquiry. There are two data formats available:- HTML links are standard URL query strings with additional parameters that take the requestor
to the defined www.estes-express.com website for the desired information. This method is well suited for
situations where automation is not restricted to going to the www.estes-express.com website.
- XML (extensible markup language) links are also standard URL query strings with additional parameters that request data from a host site (www.estes-express.com) and provide data as machine readable XML documents instead of taking the requestor to an HTML web page. This method is well suited for computer-to-computer communications because the requesting client does not receive an HTML web page.
