XML

XML and HTML were designed with different goals:

•       XML was designed to transport and store data, with focus on what data is

•       HTML was designed to display data, with focus on how data looks

•       HTML is about displaying information, while XML is about carrying information.

•       Maybe it is a little hard to understand, but XML does not DO anything.

Example has sender and receiver information

•       XML was created to structure, store, and transport information.

<Letter>

<to>                      The Principal                      </to>

<from> A. Ram Prathap Reddy   </from>

<heading>          Application                                         </heading>

<body>                h----------------------------               </body>

</Letter>

In XML we can create our own tags  (like <to> and <from>)

That is because the XML language has no predefined tags.
