Acronym. eXtensible Markup Language. XML is a file format which is commonly used for:
- Used in AJAX applications to communicate with a Web Server
- Configuration files in Java applications
- XHTML web documents (a standard of the W3C, related to HTML)
- RSS feeds
- XMLRPC Servers
XML and HTML are related, as they use a similar syntax, however, XML uses a much stricter syntax.
XML looks like HTML:
<products>
<product name="dog food" upc="541231212567">
<prices>
<price currency="USD">53.33</price>
<price currency="EUR">21.99</price>
</prices>
<name>Zug Zug Dog Food</name>
<description>
<![CDATA[
This is the only kind of food that won't eat.
]]>
</description>
</product>
</products>
But it can be associated with a DTD (Data Type Definition) which then defines what tags and attributes are permitted.
For more information check out the XML specification on the W3C web site.
