Definition of XML

The eXtensible Markup Language is a type of Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) that is very similar to the HyperText Markup Language (HTML) used for most web pages. It differs from HTML in several significant ways, most notably in allowing the author to define new language elements as needed. XML elements are tied to the meaning of their contents, as opposed to the way they should appear on a page or computer screen. Layout instructions for a particular use are kept separate from the XML, and the same information can be laid out differently by using a different set of instructions. The primary reference for XML is www.w3.org/XML.
