XML Basics

XML- Extensible markup language

What is XML?

  • XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language
  • XML is a markup language much like HTML
  • XML was designed to store and transport data
  • XML was designed to be self-descriptive
  • XML is a W3C Recommendation

XML Does Not DO Anything

Maybe it is a little hard to understand, but XML does not DO anything.
This note is a note to Tove from Jani, stored as XML:

<note>
  <to>Tove</to>
  <from>Jani</from>
  <heading>Reminder</heading>
  <body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>
</note>

The Difference Between XML and HTML

XML and HTML were designed with different goals:
  • XML was designed to carry data - with focus on what data is
  • HTML was designed to display data - with a focus on how data looks
  • XML tags are not predefined like HTML tags are.
