XML
Summary
XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a set of rules for encoding documents in machine-readable form. It is defined in the XML 1.0 Specification produced by the W3C, and several other related specifications, all gratis open standards.XML's design goals emphasize simplicity, generality, and usability over the Internet. It is a textual data format, with strong support via Unicode for the languages of the world. Although XML's design focuses on documents, it is widely used for the representation of arbitrary data structures, for example in web services.There are many programming interfaces that software developers may use to access XML data, and several schema systems designed to aid in the definition of XML-based languages.As of 2009, hundreds of XML-based languages have been developed, including RSS, Atom, SOAP, and XHTML.
