XML Introduction
This lesson is part of XML · All levels
Summary
XML is a markup language designed to store and carry data, not display data. XML is platform-independent, text-based, and supports Unicode so it is easy to read by both humans and machines. Since the tag is self-contained, the XML structure can be customized to any data model such as a document, record, or configuration.
Key points
- XML stores data in a text format that is easy to read and test
- XML platform independent and UTF-8 encoding supports multiple languages
- XML separates the data structure from its appearance
- XML is self-descriptive because the tag name describes the content of the data
- XML doesn't have built-in tags like HTML.
