explains Extensible Markup Language (XML)

XML is designed to describe data but is not concerned with the data's visualization. The tags created in XML are self explanatory and the user is free to define their own tags - hence the extensible.
XML support is provided by many programming language platforms to create and process XML data. Simplicity, portability, platform independence, usability are some of the key features that have resulted in the increasing popularity of the use of XML based standards.
XML has been the main source of motivation for development of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) platforms such as Web Services that are not tied to any particular language and collaborate effectively in heterogeneous environments. RSS, Atom, SOAP, XHTML are some of the standards influenced by XML.
