As a founding member of the working group, current editor of the specification, and as an implementer, IBM Corporation is very pleased to see XForms 1.1 advance to a computing industry standard W3C Recommendation. As a client technology, XForms simplifies web-based application development and deployment. XForms includes powerful declarative constructs for rich interactivity in data collection, simplifying application design and maintenance. XForms enables a direct mapping to back-end XML data formats, smoothing the path from transaction schemas and vertical industry data standards to G2C and B2C web applications. XForms connects client-side XML to web services, simplifying integration with portal applications, databases, and business process services. XForms is flexible enough to provide these capabilities on desktops and mobile devices, in web pages, in flowing office-style documents, and in very high-precision user interfaces. Indeed, this substantial upgrade of XForms addresses many of the challenging problems faced by our customers as they seek to develop large web applications, and IBM already ships a number of commercial products that incorporate XForms 1.1.
