XML for data access

I would like to use XML to read and write data from/to a Filemaker database. I am taking this route as I have heard the ODBC drivers don't work very well and the recommended method of interaction with Filemaker is via XML. I would probably rather take this route anyway if I can make it work.

Here are some of the questions I am trying to get answered. I am a newbie to Filemaker so please bear with me:

1) Do you post the XML to a web server? Is this a FileMaker proprietary web server or does it use IIS?

2) Where can I find a definition of the XML schema used for reading/writing data to Filemaker?

3) Can someone point me to a good reference for this?

Thanks,

John
