XML Format

Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. XML has been employed as the base language or format for many communication protocols, such HL7-CDA, SOAP Web Services, XMPP, etc. No additional configuration is required in QIE for XML formatted messages.

When QIE receives an XML message that is encoded with an encoding other than UTF-8, QIE first converts that message to UTF-8 encoding before it processes the message. All XML messages that QIE sends out are sent using UTF-8 encoding only.

Note

When viewing an XML message in QIE, you can use the 'View' | 'View Formatted XML' menu option or the F5 hot key to open the XML in the browser's default XML viewer. This viewer allows you to expand and collapse the various hierarchal levels of the XML document making it easier to navigate complex documents and find the data you are looking for.
