Xml and Html ?

[ursimrankhanna]

Hello friends,

What are the most major difference between XML and HTML?

[charlesth]

XML is stand for extendible markup language and HTML stand for hyper text markup language.

The major difference is XML is all about explain the data and only focus to hold data whereas HTML is all about the website structure and it only focus to how the data looks in Website.

HTML is just display the information Whereas XML is hold, explain and describing information.

The major difference between them is XML site maps are used by the search engine crawler whereas HTML is for the user of the site.

Web Developer may notice some difference between HTML and XML, which is due to the fact that they are both derived from XML document is provided or displayed, enables document authors to focus on creating documents that contain only relevant semantic information for their particular problem domain. This is a gentle introduction to XML and using xml with java.

We see what makes XML tick and the advantages of XML. Also we have programs to show how to use Excess parser for parsing and printing an XML document, to generate XML from subjective data.The most significant difference between HTML and XML is that HTML has predefined elements and attributes whose behavior is well specified, while XML does not. Instead, document authors can create their own XML words that are specific to their application or business need.

XML vocabularies currently exist for a large number of industries and applications from financial filings.

XML was designed to transport and store data, with focus on what data is..While HTML was designed to display data, with focus on how data looks

XML is not a replacement for HTML.

XML and HTML were designed with different goals:

* XML was designed to transport and store data, with focus on what data is.
* HTML was designed to display data, with focus on how data looks.

HTML is about displaying information, while XML is about carrying information.
XML stands for Extensible Markup Language
• XML is a markup language much like HTML
• XML was designed to carry data,
• XML tags are not predefined.
• XML is designed to be self-descriptive.
HTML - short for Hypertext Markup Language is the predominant markup language for the creation of web pages. It provides a means to describe the structure of text-based information in a document by denoting certain text as headings, paragraphs, lists, and to supplement that text with interactive forms, embedded images, and other objects.

XML is designed to carry the data while html is to display the data and focus on how the data looks.

XML does not do anything but it is used to structure the data, store the data and transport the data while HTML is used to display the data only.

XML is cross platform, hardware and software independent tool to carry data from one source to another destination.

XML is self descriptive. The DTD or schema describes what and how to use tags and elements in an xml document.

XML does not have predefined tags while HTML has. XML lets you invent your own tags while html gives you predefined tags and you have to use them only.
