What is XML?

XML stands for "eXtensible Markup Language." It is a markup language that defines rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. XML is widely used for representing structured data and documents on the web. It provides a way to store and transport data that can be easily parsed and manipulated. XML documents consist of elements, attributes, and text content. XML files typically have the ".xml" file extension. The MIME type for XML is "application/xml."

XML Example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
