摘要

The invention relates to a method of exchanging data between at least a first server (14) and a client (12). The inventive method comprises: a step (52) in which a request is formulated for the attention of a second server (14, 14') which, where appropriate, can be the first server, consisting in supplying structured data, particularly XML-type data; and a preliminary step (36) in which information is supplied by the first server (14) to the client (12), relating to the request (40) and response (42) structures which conform to the data structure in use on the second server (14, 14'). The information supply step (36) is preferably completed with a presentation step (50) in which said information is presented by an interface program that is executed by the client. The program generates an interface for the presentation of the information relating to the request and response structures.
