XML Interface
The Yosemite server may be operated as an embedded system by creating user specified areas of interest with user specified meteorological data (Favorites) using an XML format.
When operated in this mode, the XML Favorites are delivered to the Yosemite server on a socket, and the Yosemite server operates upon them according to the parameters you have defined, returning completed products as specified in the XML.
An XML formatted message will be returned by the server on a socket connection to indicate that the XML was accepted or rejected due to format errors.
