vxml

vxml element

Represents the root document element of a VoiceXML document.

Syntax

<vxml
application = "URI"
version = "string"
xml:base = "string"
xml:lang = "string"
/>

Attributes

application	The URI of the application's root document.
base	DEPRECATED. Use xml:base instead.
version	The version of VoiceXML to which the VoiceXML document conforms. Developers authoring applications to run on the Tellme platform should set this value to 2.1.
xml:base	The base URI used to resolve relative references within the document.
xml:lang	The language and locale type for this document as defined in RFC 3066. The default value is en-US.

Children

catch, data, error, form, help, link, menu, meta, noinput, nomatch, property, script, var

Remarks

The vxml element can contain one or more dialogs. It can also contain data, grammars, links, scripts, and variables declared at document scope.

When the Tellme VoiceXML interpreter executes the following VoiceXML document it converts the string "Hello World!" to speech, plays that string to the user, and then transitions to the main Tellme service menu.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<vxml version="2.1"
 xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/vxml">
<form>
   <block>
      Hello World!
      <exit />
   </block>  
</form> 
</vxml>
