August 8, 200124 yr Newbies Does anyobody has an approximate in the development time with CDML compared with XML? I mean, how much time can i save if development is done using CDML rather than XML? Any factors to consider? What are the advantages of using CDML or XML? Thanks.
August 8, 200124 yr CDML is serverside and doesn't require the user to have special browsers or plug-ins to handle the webpages Filemaker creates (or you create using CDML). XML on the other hand is not that supported by a lot of browsers, but from what I have experienced: XML is a lot more durable than CDML. But since XML is a more structured/strict language than CDML, it can be harder to begin programming your site.
August 8, 200124 yr Oh, I forgot... When you start using XML, you don't want to switch back to older languages since it's just a little kick-*** language from the other side... Seriously: XML is a very good language, CDML is not. But CDML is easy to use, XML is not. You can create stunning things with CDML, just a couple of days after you first start using it. That's not exactly the situation with XML.
