Summary:  The Google Web Toolkit enables you to use Java™ syntax to create the JavaScript™ necessary for Asynchronous JavaScript + XML (Ajax) user interfaces. Most of these Ajax applications use XML to transfer information to and from the server, so your application must be able to both parse and create XML data. This tutorial shows you how to manipulate and create XML using the Google Web Toolkit.

Summary

Wrap up

In general, GWT provides many of the same XML capabilities as a standard Java implementation, but it has the advantage of its primary purpose: To make it simple to create dynamic Ajax-driven sites. In this tutorial, you learned how to:

  • Install the GWT
  • Use the GWT create a simple application
  • Retrieve XML data through HTTP
  • Send and receive XML data using POST
  • Parse an existing XML stream using GWT's classes
  • Manipulate an XML Document using GWT's classes
  • Create a new XML Document using GWT's classes

You can now take this knowledge and use it to create any Ajax application that needs to use XML.
