XML: Difference between revisions

The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a human readable data container standard that uses an SGML subset markup language to define containers. It is intended more for exchange of information rather than actual storage of it, as it can grow pretty large but also works well for small storage files that need to be human readable and editable with a simple tool, small configuration files being one example.
