Speed Integration with XML

Sitecore stores and utilises all of its content as XML. To facilitate integration with external database systems, Sitecore offers the Data Provider abstraction Layer. This gives developers a standardised way to expose database connections to Sitecore so they can access those databases and records as if they were simple XML documents. This streamlines development and allows developers to leverage the tremendous power of XPath and XSL.
