XML Docs

Your application can use a combination of Plivo XML and APIs to build a set of telephony operations. When your web application interfaces with Plivo, in many instances, it is expected to send an XML response back to Plivo. Plivo has defined a set of XML elements that the application must use to control the progress of the operation.
