What is XML?
Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a language for marking up text in a way that is understandable by machines and is human readable at the same time. XML describes data that can be understood by different program applications.
XML is a meta-language that allows for the creation of other languages. Examples of these are Mathematical Markup Language (MML), Wireless Markup Language (WML), and Physical Markup Language (PML).
XML includes specifications for hyper linking. It also includes a specification for a style language that provides support for a style sheet mechanism. This allows an author to create a template of various styles (e.g., italic, bold) and apply them to a document in order to present the document on a browser.
