    Motivation

    You want to have a web page that looks up a stock symbol. You have a REST-based web service that returns stock information if you pass it a ticker symbol. URL that you sends the service looks like the following: 

     http://www.webservicex.net/stockquote.asmx/GetQuote?symbol=GOOG

    This URL returns the following XML: 

     <string>
   <StockQuotes>
     <Stock>
       <Symbol>GOOG</Symbol>
       <Last>472.63</Last>
