What is 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 stands for Extensible markup language,that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a human readable format and machine readable format.
 
XML stands for Extensible Markup Language. Practically speaking, XML is a method to structure electronic documents, and its aim is to separate presentation, structure, and meaning from the actual content. It's been so successful at doing this; it's now used to represent any kind of data structure.
 
XML is a file extension for an Extensible Markup Language (XML) file format used to create common information formats and share both the format and the data on the World Wide Web, intranets, and elsewhere using standard ASCII text.

XML is similar to HTML. Both XML and HTML contain markup symbols to describe the contents of a page or file. HTML, however, describes the content of a Web page (mainly text and graphic images) only in terms of how it is to be displayed and interacted with. For example, the letter "p" placed within markup tags starts a new paragraph.

XML enables you to label information in a way that is like how you label information while making a HTML document. XML joins huge numbers of the effective highlights of HTML, but on the other hand was produced to address a portion of the impediments of HTML. XML labels might be client characterized, by either a DTD or a report written in the XML Schema
