XML is much like HTML. It is a code to create web sites. You can make everything look like you want on the user side.

Extensible Markup Language (XML)

Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple, very flexible text format derived from SGML (ISO 8879). Originally designed to meet the challenges of large-scale electronic publishing, XML is also playing an increasingly important role in the exchange of a wide variety of data on the Web and elsewhere.

The main idea of XML is to transfer data in between different platforms, actually XML has a standard way of storing data that is understood by every platform, so communication between different platforms becomes possible

XML (Extensible Markup Language):

It's much like as HTML, and it's design to carry data not to display, it's tags are not predefined you must have to define your tag.It is designed to be self-descriptive and it's w3c recommendation.

It is easy to write a parser for whatever interpretation you want to use, and thus there is a simple way to ability a apparatus for casual advice from one affairs to another. XML on this view is no different than the use of as cii in the early days of Unix.

Hi,

There are certain points through which you understand XML:-
XML stands for EXtensible Markup Language
XML is a markup language much like HTML
XML was designed to carry data, not to display data
XML tags are not predefined. You must define your own tags
XML is designed to be self-descriptive
XML is a W3C Recommendation


Thanks

XML is the Extensible Markup language..which is similar to html Because in this also we can have tag with begining and ending clause..
Difference between XML and Html is that we can declare our own tag in the XmL.It is free licensed free and easy to use..

It is the Extensible Markup Language..The main thing about this is that it is licensed free..Compatible to all platform...No need to get registered...
We can Also Declare our own tags in the XML

I am having the same issue I did go to the Microsoft link as mentioned above.. d/l it.. but still have the same XML Parser instance. Using Windows 7 64 Pro

[shanmarsh1]

I would suggest your post it to relevant developer group. Tell them what you are trying to do and where you hit the errors.

The basic idea of XML is transferring the file. It can store the data in standard way and it is easily understood by platform. It has made the communication easy.

The Extensible Markup Language (XML) was initially visualized as a language for defining new document formats for the World Wide Web. And can be careful to be a meta-language: a language for important markup languages. XML is text-based formats that provide mechanisms for describing document structures.
