What is Wireless Application Protocol (WAP)?
Wireless Application Protocol (WAP):-
Wireless Application Protocol defines a secure specification that allows users to access Internet information instantly via handheld wireless devices such as mobile phones, pagers, two‘,Na radios, smartphones and communicators. WAP supports most wireless networks. WAP is supported by all operating systems. Ones specifically engineered for handheld devices now include PalmOS, EPOC, Windows CE, FLEXOS, OS/9, and JavaOS. WAPs that use displays and access the Internet run using microbrowsers. Microbrowsers are browsers with small file sizes that can accommodate the low memory constraints of handheld devices and the low-bandwidth constraints of a wireless-handheld network.
Although WAP supports HTML and XML, the WML language (an XML application" is specifically devised for small screens and one-hand navigation without a keyboard. WML is scalable from two-line text displays up through graphic screens found on items such as smart phones and communicators. WAP also supports WMLScript. It is similar to JavaScript, but makes minimal demands on memory and CPU power because it does not contain many of the unnecessary functions found in other scripting languages. Because WAP is fairly new it is still an initiati that was started by Unwired Planet, Motorola, Nokia, and Ericsson
