Pragmatic Use of Xml?

Consider only use XmlAtOrganizationBoundaries

Unless you are using XmlEnabled tools that generate / consume ExtensibleMarkupLanguage documents, and

• 1- you can afford the XmlPerformance tax
• 2- XmlSecurityAspects have been adequately considered.

When implementing WebServices

Consider:

• 1- review cost/benefits & risks of dated alternatives such as email and EDI
• 2- See whether a RestArchitecturalStyle based WebServices is sufficient
• 3- See whether an application tool can do the job (generate the web services) instead
