What is XML?
XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a streamlined subset of SGML. XML defines the structure of data. It opens the door to shaping and controlling data without regard to the platform or operating system.
- Features
- XML documents are human readable
- XML is extensible — you can define your own “tags”
- XML documents are “future proof”
- Unicode-based
- Subset of a standard that has existed since 1986 (SGML)
- Structure vs formatting
- Structure gives data meaning
- Formatting tells how the data looks
