Hello kids (and adults, too)!
Ever wondered about HTML and XML? They're both special languages for computers, but they're used for different things. Let's see how:

HTML is like a coloring book:
It tells your computer how to show a webpage.
Example: <p>This is a paragraph.</p>

XML is like a toy box:
It helps organize information for computers to share.
Example: <toy><name>Teddy Bear</name><color>Brown</color></toy>

HTML makes things look pretty on websites, and XML helps computers talk to each other!
Can you find any of the examples above in your favorite web sites or apps?
