WAP Micro Browsers
To fit into a small wireless terminal, WAP uses a Micro Browser.
A Micro Browser is a small piece of software that makes minimal demands on hardware, memory and CPU. It can display information written in a restricted mark-up language called WML.
What is WML?
WML stands for Wireless Markup Language. It is a mark-up language inherited from HTML, but WML is based on XML, so it is much stricter than HTML.
WML is used to create pages that can be displayed in a WAP browser. Pages in WML are called DECKS. Decks are constructed as a set of CARDS.
Example WML document:
"http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.1.xml">

In a WAP browser screen only one card is displayed at a time.
WMLScript can apply for client side scripting like JavaScript for HTML and for styling WCSS is used.
