Embedded XML Data Exchange for Asynchronous Communication Between E-commerce Systems

The loosely coupled communication is often needed to exchange commerce data asynchronously between different e-commerce applications. This paper proposed an embedded XML data exchange framework for asynchronous communication between different e-commerce systems. The XML data is used to exchange the e-commerce data between the customers and the special e-commerce system. The XML data is embedded into mail messages and delivered to the merchants by STMP protocol and received from the mail server by POP3 protocol and transformed to the e-commerce data items which can be recognized by the e-commerce systems. The embedded XML data exchange framework can realize the asynchronous data exchange and data flow management for e-commerce system. It can satisfy the demand of swift flexibility on the business logic. It is suitable for exchanging the e-commerce data asynchronously with low development cost.
