Emitting the <?xml?> PI

The client application begins by emitting an <?xml?> PI.

Note: In the following example (and in all examples in this document of tag elements emitted by a client application), bold font is used to highlight the part of the tag sequence that is discussed in the text.

The attributes are as follows. For a list of the attribute values that are acceptable in the current version of the JUNOScript API, see Supported Software Versions.

• version—The version of XML with which tag elements emitted by the client application comply
• encoding—The standardized character set that the client application uses and can understand

In the following example of a client application’s <?xml?> PI, the version="1.0" attribute indicates that it is emitting tag elements that comply with the XML 1.0 specification. The encoding="us-ascii" attribute indicates that the client application is using the 7-bit ASCII character set standardized by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). For more information about ANSI standards, see http://www.ansi.org.

Note: If the application fails to emit the <?xml?> PI before emitting the opening <junoscript> tag, the JUNOScript server emits an error message and immediately closes the session and connection. For more information, see Emitting the Opening <junoscript> Tag.
