XML

XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a general-purpose specification for creating custom markup languages. It is classified as an extensible language, because it allows the user to define the mark-up elements. XML’s purpose is to aid information systems in sharing structured data, especially via the Internet, to encode documents, and to serialize data.

XML’s set of tools helps developers in creating web pages but its usefulness goes well beyond that. Most importantly, XML provides a basic syntax that can be used to share information between different kinds of computers, different applications, and different organizations without needing to pass through many layers of conversion.

Web publishing uses XML to have a single source for creating and updating all content, which significantly saves time and reduces costs for companies when printing documents.
