DescriptionXML is a file format that holds a markup language. Both humans and machines can access this file format. It is designed to store data. Here one can use languages independently and can set his tag. It is portable enough and has enough vendor independence, which has introduced this format as a user-friendly format and made this format very popular on the online platform. XML is essential, like HTML.
Technical detailsEvery XML file owns a root structure by which users can set their tags. Every single XML file begins with XML declaration. XML declaration has its version name and encoding of that specific file. After that, a base element called the root element is defined. The root element may have child elements. All tags have their ending tag. XML files may carry comments, entity references, and attributes. Applications can read the values and display the users want.
