Xml:
Extensible Markup Language (XML) is used to describe data. The XML standard is a
flexible way to create information formats and electronically share structured
data via the public Internet, as well as via corporate networks. XML is actually a simpler and easier-to-use
subset of the Standard Generalized Markup
Language (SGML), which is the standard to create a document
structure.
What is XML?
- XML stands for Extensible Markup Language
- XML is a markup language much like
HTML.
- XML was designed to describe data.
- XML tags are not predefined
in XML. You must define your
own tags.
- XML is self describing.
- XML uses a DTD (Document Type Definition) to
formally describe the data.
Difference between XML and HTML
1. HTML is about displaying information, XML is about describing information.
2. XML is not a replacement for HTML.
3. XML and HTML were designed with different goals:
4. XML was designed to describe data and to focus on what data is.
5. HTML was designed to display data and to focus on how data looks.
