XML stands for Extensible Markup Language. Basically, it is a markup language created to transport structured data across different systems and platforms. There is an article over W3C titled “XML in 10 Points,” which gives an introduction to this language. The 10 points are:
- XML is for structuring data.
- XML looks a bit like HTML.
- XML is text, but isn’t meant to be read.
- XML is verbose by design.
- XML is a family of technologies.
- XML is new, but not that new.
- XML leads HTML to XHTML.
- XML is modular.
- XML is the basis for RDF and the Semantic Web.
- XML is license-free, platform-independent and well-supported.
