XML = Extensible Markup Language
XML
XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. It uses tags to define the structure and meaning of data elements within a document, allowing for the representation of hierarchical data structures and metadata. XML is widely used for data interchange between different systems and platforms, as it provides a standardized format that can be easily parsed and processed by software applications. With its flexibility and extensibility, XML is utilized in various domains, including web development, document management, data interchange, and configuration files. XML-based technologies such as XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations) and XPath (XML Path Language) enable the transformation and querying of XML documents, further enhancing its utility in different applications. Despite the emergence of alternative data formats such as JSON, XML continues to play a significant role in information exchange and data representation due to its versatility and widespread adoption.

- Snippet from Wikipedia: XML
Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a markup language and file format for storing, transmitting, and reconstructing data. It defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. The World Wide Web Consortium's XML 1.0 Specification of 1998 and several other related specifications—all of them free open standards—define XML.
The design goals of XML emphasize simplicity, generality, and usability across the Internet. It is a textual data format with strong support via Unicode for different human languages. Although the design of XML focuses on documents, the language is widely used for the representation of arbitrary data structures, such as those used in web services.
Several schema systems exist to aid in the definition of XML-based languages, while programmers have developed many application programming interfaces (APIs) to aid the processing of XML data.
