XML HOME

This lesson is part of XML · All levels

Summary

The XML homepage introduces XML (eXtensible Markup Language) as a markup language for defining, storing, and moving data. Unlike HTML, XML does not have built-in tags so writers are free to tag according to their data needs. XML became the foundation for many other technologies such as DTD, XSD, XPath, XSLT, and various modern file formats.
