In computing, Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable.

The W3C's XML 1.0 Specification and several other related specifications—all of them free open standards—define XML.

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is the integrated management of core business processes, often in real-time and mediated by software and technology.

These business activities can include:

A warehouse management system (WMS) is a software application, designed to support warehouse or distribution center management and staff.

They facilitate management in their daily planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling the utilization of available resources, to move and store materials into, within, and out of a warehouse, while supporting staff in the performance of material movement and storage in and around a warehouse.

Electronic data interchange (EDI) is an electronic communication method that provides standards for exchanging data via any electronic means.

By adhering to the same standard, two different companies or organizations, even in two different countries, can electronically exchange documents (such as purchase orders, invoices, shipping notices, and many others).

EDI has existed for more than 30 years, and there are many EDI standards (including X12, EDIFACT, ODETTE, etc), some of which address the needs of specific industries or regions.

It also refers specifically to a family of standards.

Representational state transfer (REST) or RESTful Web services are one way of providing interoperability between computer systems on the Internet.

REST-compliant Web services allow requesting systems to access and manipulate textual representations of Web resources using a uniform and predefined set of stateless operations.

Other forms of Web service exist, which expose their own arbitrary sets of operations such as WSDL and SOAP.

"Web resources" were first defined on the World Wide Web as documents or files identified by their URLs, but today they have a much more generic and abstract definition encompassing every thing or entity that can be identified, named, addressed or handled, in any way whatsoever, on the Web.

In a RESTful Web service, requests made to a resource's URI will elicit a response that may be in XML, HTML, JSON or some other defined format.

The response may confirm that some alteration has been made to the stored resource, and it may provide hypertext links to other related resources or collections of resources.

Using HTTP, as is most common, the kind of operations available include those predefined by the HTTP verbs GET, POST, PUT, DELETE and so on.

By making use of a stateless protocol and standard operations, REST systems aim for fast performance, reliability, and the ability to grow, by re-using components that can be managed and updated without affecting the system as a whole, even while it is running.
