A Short Introduction to XML

Learning about XML is very easy. This format helps programmers around the world to write more faster web programs.

Everywhere in web we hear about XML. It has become such a popular language, which made the information exchange the easiest and productive way possible. The use of XML or Extensible Markup Language is almost everywhere on the web. This language is a remarkable one and can transfer huge amount of data in less time and is platform independent. All languages now support the XML format.

How it works

Based on specific requirements XML files can be structured. An XML file is mad up of different tags. Each tag has to be properly closed. Between each tag the information can be embedded. For Eg: 1000.

These tags are defined according to a particular requirement. Once the XML is prepared a parser can be used to parse the XML content on to a web. Each web browser has got its own parsers to parse the XML file. A programmer writes the code to parse the XML based on the browser type. The responsibility of the parser is to identify each tag and parse the contents to display them in a readable form on to the web page. All browsers support XML.
