  17. 6.5.2 WAP and WML • Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) • Developed by Nokia, Ericsson, Motorola, etc. • A set of communication protocols designed to enable different kinds of wireless devices to communicate and access the Internet • Designed to standardize development across different wireless technologies worldwide • Intended primarily for Internet-enabled digital phones, pagers and other handheld devices • Uses Web sites specifically designed for wireless handheld devices that have small screens and low-bandwidth constraints

  18. 6.5.2 WAP and WML • Wireless Markup Language (WML) • The scripting language used to create Web content to be delivered to wireless handheld devices, based on XML • Removes “unnecessary” content from Web pages • WML tags are used to “mark up” a Web page to specify how the page should be formatted on a wireless device • WML works with the WAP to deliver the content • Similar to HTML, but it does not require input devices • Microbrowsers • Designed with limited bandwidth and limited memory requirements • Access the Web via the wireless Internet

  19. 6.5.2 WAP and WML • How wireless Internet works: • A WAP gateway, which acts as a proxy server, receives the request, translates it and sends it to the appropriate Internet server • Server responds by sending the requested WML document • The WAP gateway parses this document's WML (i.e., it analyzes the WML document, checking it for correctness) and sends the proper text to the digital phone • Deck A WML document • Card • Consists of one user interaction, providing the WML browser with a small, self-contained document for browsing
