Wap & WML

This document provides an overview of WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) and WML (Wireless Markup Language). It discusses how WAP was formed by mobile companies to create an open standard for accessing internet content on wireless devices. It describes how the WAP Gateway acts as a bridge between mobile and computer networks, translating requests between WAP and HTTP. Finally, it explains that WML is used to present content on WAP devices using cards analogous to HTML pages and is designed for microbrowsers on mobile phones.

WAP Gateway

The WAP Gateway acts as the


bridge between the mobile network,
containing mobile clients, and the
computer network containing
application servers .
It translates requests from the
WAP request to the HTTP request.

WML
 Content in WAP are presented to the phone using
the Wireless Markup Language (WML).
 WML is analogous to HTML for HTTP applications.
 It is designed to interface with the micro-
browsers of WAP-enabled devices.
 A WML document is a collection of cards.
 Each card carries enough information to fit in
one screen of a mobile device.
 One or more cards can be logically grouped into
a deck of cards.
