'''Wireless Markup Language''' (WML) is an [[HTML]]-variant markup language as part of the [[Wireless Application Protocol]], an attempt to reinvent the Web for the bandwidth, CPU, and memory limitations of wireless networks and mobile devices.<ref>http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/W/WAP.html</ref> WAP existed around the turn of the millennium, and flopped within a few years.

Curiously, the [http://www.wapforum.org/what/technical.htm official site's hub page for WAP specifications] links to password-protected documents. However, a [http://www.wapforum.org/what/technical/wml-30-apr-98.pdf slightly older copy] can be found by search engine.

 A WML document is structured as a deck of navigable cards. One card is visible at a time, and may contain text and form input fields. Each card has an associated "action," which may involve navigation to other cards and submission of form data over the network.
