What’s new about XML support in FileMaker Pro 6?

In the past, accessing FileMaker data as XML required users to make requests to the FileMaker Web Companion from an external application; in other words, it was "pull" only through the Web Companion. Additionally, processing XSLT style sheets required the user to have installed an XSLT processor on the client machine. With FileMaker Pro 6 the XML capabilities are integrated into the product as import/export menu selections without the need for the Web Companion. Alternatively, the customer can script XML data import and export. Also within FileMaker Pro 6 is an XSLT processor allowing style sheets can be processed without the need for the customer to install their own.
