XML!!

Key Points for XML..

XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language.
XML is designed to transport and store data.

What is XML?

  • XML stands for EXtensible Markup Language
  • XML is a markup language much like HTML
  • XML was designed to carry data, not to display data
  • XML tags are not predefined. You must define your own tags
  • XML is designed to be self-descriptive
  • XML is a W3C Recommendation.

Difference Between HTML and XML-:

  • XML was designed to transport and store data, with focus on what data is
  • HTML was designed to display data, with focus on how data looks

Example of XML -:
<note>
<to>Tove</to>
<from>Jani</from>
<heading>Reminder</heading>
<body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>
</note>



We  make our own tags like to from heading etc..
In this tags are not defined already.


Best description of XML is this:

XML is a software- and hardware-independent tool for carrying information.
