XML


Assalamualaikum wbt. Today,  we would like to share with you a new topic we learnt that is about XML. XML stands for Extensible Markup Language which has been designed simply to make the usage of Internet much more easier. Simplicity, generality and usability are what emphasized by the usage of XML. XML is widely used in the representation of arbitrary data structures as we can find in web services. However, we have to strictly understand that XML is not a replacement of HTML.  XML has been designed more specifically to carry data then to display it. XML is however as important as HTML to the foundation of Web as it is the most common tool for data transmissions between all sorts of applications. Below we are going to provide you with the XML syntax and tables as well as some links for your own research and understanding:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<note>
  <to>
Tove</to>
  <from>
Jani</from>
  <heading>Reminder</heading>
  <body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>

The differences between XML and HTML :

HTML XML
About displaying information About carrying information
No need to have Closing Tag All elements Must Have a Closing Tag
Tags are not case sensitive Tags are case sensitive
