Using in SharePoint Products
In general, almost all XML files in a SharePoint installation utilize CAML. Specifically CAML is very important in site and list definitions, via the ONET.XML files as well as other corresponding XML files. Here the CAML is used to define what elements exist on an instance of a site, and the display of these sub-elements, while the ASPX files are used to define how to arrange and display those elements to form the site.
CAML can be used by software developers to query against SharePoint lists and views, when programming against the SharePoint API (CAML is supported by SharePoint Web Services and by the SharePoint Object Model).
CAML query syntax can be created graphically from an existing SharePoint list by using the U2U CAML Generator tool.

Famous quotes containing the word products:
“But, most of all, the Great Society is not a safe harbor, a resting place, a final objective, a finished work. It is a challenge constantly renewed, beckoning us toward a destiny where the meaning of our lives matches the marvelous products of our labor.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
