The XML SMS Gateway API connection is very versatile and simple to integrate. It is an excellent application for batch sending
of text messages. Developers with structured data needs find the XML connection useful. It has excellent interoperabilityamongst heterogeneous systems, particularly legacy systems allowing communication between different applications. Although
two-way text messaging is not a feature of the XML API, you can use our other connections such as HTTP, FTP or SMPP to
receive your inbound SMS messages.
Why developers choose Clickatell's XML SMS Gateway API to mobile message-enable their applications:
- The XML API is language independent.
