'''cXML (commerce eXtensible Markup Language)''' is a [[Protocol (computing)|protocol]], created by [[Ariba]] in 1999, intended for communication of business documents between [[procurement]] applications, [[e-commerce]] hubs and suppliers. cXML is based on [[XML]] and provides formal [[XML schema]]s for standard business transactions, allowing programs to modify and validate documents without prior knowledge of their form.
 
The protocol does not include the full breadth of interactions some parties may wish to communicate. However, it can be expanded through the use of extrinsic elements and newly-defined domains for various identifiers. This expansion is the limit of point-to-point configurations necessary for communication.
