FileMaker announced its enhanced FileMaker XML Central to jump-start developers’ and power-users’ ability to create data exchange and application integration solutions. Featured on FileMaker XML Central is the new FileMaker XSLT Library, consisting of freely downloadable XSLT stylesheets. Each stylesheet translates XML grammars, so FileMaker can exchange data with a large and growing number of other applications. Eight XSLT stylesheets are included with the new FileMaker Pro 6 software, and more than 40 are available in the Library. That number is expected to grow as developers contribute stylesheets they create. In addition, some of the Library’s stylesheets enable FileMaker to import data from Microsoft SQL Server, import Web data, export to Microsoft Excel, and export data in scalable vector graphics (SVG) format. www.filemaker.com
