BeerXML

BeerXML is a free, fully defined <a href="/facts/XML/clNgUfWk">XML</a> data description <a href="/facts/Technical_standard/P4orT1SM">standard</a> designed for the exchange of <a href="/facts/Beer/t7qAGDfj">beer</a> brewing recipes and other <a href="/facts/Brewing/aKCgJVyJ">brewing</a> data. Tables of recipes as well as other records such as <a href="/facts/Humulus_lupulus/Qaceb20f">hop</a> schedules and <a href="/facts/Malt/Tupt6cGw">malt</a> bills can be represented using BeerXML for use by brewing <a href="/facts/Software/RP79lVSW">software</a>.
BeerXML is an <a href="/facts/Open_standard/RGvhGQVI">open standard</a> and as a <a href="/facts/Subset/SJGERmbA">subset</a> of Extensible Markup Language (XML). BeerXML is a <a href="/facts/Markup_language/WwhlNVIu">markup language</a> that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a <a href="/facts/File_format/qrXbwJaH">format</a> that is both <a href="/facts/Human-readable_medium/GDE1fpHT">human-readable</a> and <a href="/facts/Machine-readable_data/oKEyQhcl">machine-readable</a>.
BeerXML is supported by a number of web sites, <a href="/facts/Computer/SQe1aK05">computer</a> programmes and an increasing number of Android, Windows Phone, and iOS apps.
Plugins and extensions supporting BeerXML have been written for a variety of platforms including <a href="/facts/Ruby_(programming_language)/BeYSaPSR">Ruby</a> via <a href="/facts/RubyGems/GWoWccho">RubyGems</a>, <a href="/facts/WordPress/mrrCX1Fx">WordPress</a>, <a href="/facts/PHP/vU6YRJX0">PHP</a> and <a href="/facts/JavaScript/XhhIIEsl">JavaScript</a>
Many brewing hardware manufacturers incorporate BeerXML into their systems and third party plugins and patches are being developed for brewery control hardware and embedded systems allowing the automation and fine control and timing of processes such as <a href="/facts/Mashing/fnG5lRuW">mashing</a> and potentially <a href="/facts/Fermentation/rxaDr28b">fermentation</a>.
