X-Band Edit     /     [top]

	A portion of the radio frequency spectrum between 7 GHz and 8 GHz, used by military satellites.

X3.64 Edit     /     [top]

ANSI Standard X3.64: A set of extensions to the popular ASCII encoding standard. It uses a Control Sequence Introducer (CSI -- usually defined as 'Esc-[') to define a set of control sequences for text mode display devices. These control sequences can change text colors, sizes, and position the cursor on the screen, among other things. This standard is often referred to as simply 'ANSI'. The international equivalent is ISO standard DP6429.

xDSL Edit     /     [top]

x (for 'any') Digital Subscriber Line - There are many different types or 'flavors' of Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) services. To denote a specific type a letter is prefixed to the DSL acronym. For example, ADSL is Asymetrcial Digital Subscriber Line and SDSL is Symetrical Digital Subscriber Line.. When talking about DSL in general terms, it is usually referred to as simply "DSL" but is sometimes referred to as "xDSL" (where the 'x' denotes 'any' type letter).

XML-RPC Edit     /     [top]

	RPC over XML - A specification to provide remote procedure calls on the World Wide Web. In the words of the XML-RPC Home Page: XML-RPC is remote procedure calling using HTTP as the transport and XML as the encoding. XML-RPC is designed to be as simple as possible, while allowing complex data structures to be transmitted, processed and returned.
	See Also: SOAP     Web Services

XML Edit     /     [top]

Extensible Markup Language - A highly flexible syntax that allows you to describe virtually any kind of information, from a simple recipe to a complex database (hence the term 'extensible'). An XML document --in conjunction with a style sheet or a conventional HTML page-- can be easily displayed in a Web browser. Because an XML document so effectively structures and labels the information it contains, the browser can find, extract, sort, filter, arrange, and manipulate that information in highly flexible ways. XML's flexibility has lead many industry groups and standards bodies to produce a variety of dialects to suite the needs of their applications. VoiceXML and CCXML are two examples that are of particular interest to the call center industry but there are hundreds of standard dialects covering everything from EDI derivatives to database queries. XML is also the principle transfer language used to implement web services. It is primarily used in standards such as SOAP to define the structure of communications between web service providers and clients.
