SyncML (Synchronization Markup Language) is the former name for a platform-independent information synchronization standard. The project is currently referred to as Open Mobile Alliance Data Synchronization and Device Management. The purpose of SyncML is to offer an open standard as a replacement for existing data synchronization solutions, which have mostly been somewhat vendor-, application- or operating system specific.
Syncml works by exchanging commands, which can be requests and responses. As an example:
Alert
command for signaling the wish to begin a refresh-only synchronizationStatus
command for accepting the requestSync
command containing an Add sub-command for each item (e.g., phonebook entry); if the number of entries is large, it does not include the <Final/> tag;Alert
message, and the mobile sends another chunk of items; otherwise, the computer confirms it received all data with a Status
commandI ain't joking when I'm telling you that while in the Yakima
Digging up them thunder egg stones
Well, we cracked them wide open, the mountain started smoking
And the sky turned the color of a crow
Fires in the north lands, floods to the south
Put the pedal to the metal and let it all hang out
Fires in the north lands, floods to the south
Put the pedal to the metal and let it all hang out
The ash turned to confetti, Alleluia
Outside them great tri-cities, Alleluia
Oh, God showed his great mercy, Alleluia
Turned ash into confetti, Alleluia
Handkerchiefs on coughing mouths, running to the full hotels
Left us with no other place but home
And in the distance tail lights came and went
Sometimes as eyes of Vulcan sorcery
Fires in the north lands, floods to the south
Put the pedal to the metal and let it all hang out
Fires in the north lands, floods to the south
Put the pedal to the metal and let it all hang out
The ash turned to confetti, Alleluia
Outside them great tri-cities, Alleluia
Oh, God showed his great mercy, Alleluia
Turned ash into confetti, Alleluia
Maybe we'll make it to that rise
Maybe we'll see another sun rise
The ash turned to confetti, Alleluia
Outside them great tri-cities, Alleluia
Oh, God showed his great mercy, Alleluia
Turned ash into confetti, Alleluia
The ash turned to confetti, Alleluia
Outside them great tri-cities, Alleluia
Oh, God showed his great mercy, Alleluia
