2 The XML-based Advanced
Command Line Interface
The XML-based Advanced Command Line Interface, XACLI, is a very flexible interface both
optimized for machine-machine interaction and man-machine interaction. It is based on the
powerful TANDBERG XML engine and offers many of the same features as the TANDBERG
XML interface.
The main distinction between XACLI and the TANDBERG XML interface is the input format.
As XACLI is a command line interface all inputs from the user/control application have to be
put on one line, in opposite to the XML interface where a complete XML document can be
posted to the system in one operation.
A basic understanding of the information structuring in the TANDBERG XML engine is
important in order to get the most out of the XACLI interface. It is therefore recommended to
read the documentation of the TANDBERG XML API prior to reading this section.
