WML is a markup language based on Extensible Markup Language (XML). It is designed for specifying user interface behavior and displaying content on wireless devices such as phones, pagers, and personal digital assistants (PDAs).

This article explores the various options available to enable a Web site to interact with a wireless device. The article discusses the generation of both static and dynamic content by a Web site for wireless medium.

This document contains datailed description of the tags we use at some of our pages.

The Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is an open specification that addresses wireless network characteristics by adapting several data-handling approaches already in use by Web protocols, and introducing new ones, where appropriate, to the special requirements of handheld wireless devices. The reuse of existing Web technologies eases the development of WAP applications, and make it similar to developing HTML-based Web applications since it is browser-based.

The DevGuru WML Quick Reference guide is a 62-page reference source for all of the tags and attributes that compose the Wireless Markup Language (WML) which is a family member of XML. This Quick Reference also includes real working code examples.

JSP tags library for WAP/WML developers. This library lets you to combine within one JSP page different parts of the code - for normal browser and for WAP browser

Creating Mobile Services Using the Java™ Programming Language, XML and HTTP

This paper summarizes a project on the delivery of real-time traffic information in the PEMS database to wireless phones. The goals are to give users access to travel time estimates and predictions over a selected route, and congestion information for a particular highway segment.

Mobile Web Introduction

One of the potential difficulties with developing for handheld devices is the variety of different device possibilities. Rather than having to go and buy a bunch of mobile phones and PDA devices to test your application, most manufacturers provide free development kits that include documentation and, more important, an emulator of the device itself.

Web Development Using XML URI References

"Applied XML Solutions," a new book from Benoît Marchal, shows professional developers how to apply XML to a variety of real-world applications. These include using XML as a scripting substitute and using XSLT to facilitate communication between incompatible systems. Here we present the second part of the chapter devoted to content syndication: producing HTML, WML and RSS from XML.

The WAP Protocols cover both the application (WAE), and the underlying transport layers (WSP and WTP, WTLS, and WDP). WML and WMLScript are collectively known as WAE, the Wireless Application Environment.

The resulting WML output follows and can be read by a WAP-enabled phone or emulator. It's worth looking over the examples 5 and 6 together to see how we arrive at the finished article.

The SmartPhone Emulator Forte Module Edition is designed to provide developers with a tool for previewing and testing Wireless Markup Language (WML). The module is integrated into the Forte for Java environment with the aim of giving the user a complete development platform. Developers can test WML code without the need for a physical handset, and can also choose from a wide range of bundled handset emulators.

Multi-table database search for your WAP-enabled device. Uses PHP and MySQL. No WMLscript.

WML stands for web site meta language. This means that WML takes input .wml files, processes whatever is inside them (it can be anything from basic HTML to Perl code!), and outputs whatever you want it to output, for example .html or .php.

I've made available a few resources about MooML in my office. Browse example code below, including the API code (which I qualify as a draft yet). Fort the API code see $XML_utils API at the bottom of this table.I have a tiny test suite available. Try it if you want to see direct output. Should add more complexe tests after the API is completed. Then, the next steps will be:

A straightforward WML example.

The mark-up language defined by the WAP protocol is WML. A full description and tutorial is beyond the scope of this paper, but I've found it an extremely simple language to use and I have included links to the WAP standards documentation and some of the better tutorials in the Resources section.
