XML, which stands for Extensible Markup Language, is a versatile and human-readable markup language used for structuring and representing data in a hierarchical format. XML is commonly used for data storage, data exchange, and configuration files.
XML uses tags to define elements and attributes to provide additional information. It is often used to create custom data formats and is a fundamental technology for web services like SOAP and XML-RPC.
XML is widely adopted for data interchange between different systems and platforms.
