Question

what is XML.?

Extensible Markup Language - very useful for internet.

Answer 2

The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a general-purpose markup language.It is classified as an extensible language because it allows its users to define their own tags. Its primary purpose is to facilitate the sharing of structured data across different information systems, particularly via the Internet.It is used both to encode documents and serialize data. In the latter context, it is comparable with other text-based serialization languages such as JSON and YAML.



It started as a simplified subset of the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), and is designed to be relatively human-legible. By adding semantic constraints, application languages can be implemented in XML. These include XHTML,[4] RSS, MathML, GraphML, Scalable Vector Graphics, MusicXML, and thousands of others. Moreover, XML is sometimes used as the specification language for such application languages.



XML is recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium. It is a fee-free open standard. The W3C recommendation specifies both the lexical grammar, and the requirements for parsing

Answer 3

XML stands for EXtensible Markup Language .It is a markup language much like HTML and was designed to describe data .XML tags are not predefined in XML. We must define our own tags .It uses a Document Type Definition (DTD) or an XML Schema to describe the data

XML with a DTD or XML Schema is designed to be self-descriptive.............
