| What is XML? * XML stands for EXtensible Markup Language * XML is a markup language much like HTML * XML was designed to carry data, not to display data * XML tags are not predefined. You must define your own tags * XML is designed to be self-descriptive Thanks KiruthikaSambandam |

| The Difference Between XML and HTML XML is not a replacement for HTML. XML and HTML were designed with different goals: XML was designed to transport and store data, with focus on what data is. HTML was designed to display data, with focus on how data looks. HTML is about displaying information, while XML is about carrying information. Thanks KiruthikaSambandam |

Here are some examples: * XHTML the latest version of HTML * WSDL for describing available web services * WAP and WML as markup languages for handheld devices * RSS languages for news feeds * RDF and OWL for describing resources and ontology * SMIL for describing multimedia for the web Thanks KiruthikaSambandam |

| What is an XML Element? An XML element is everything from (including) the element's start tag to (including) the element's end tag. An element can contain other elements, simple text or a mixture of both. Elements can also have attributes. XML Naming Rules XML elements must follow these naming rules: * Names can contain letters, numbers, and other characters * Names must not start with a number or punctuation character * Names must not start with the letters xml (or XML, or Xml, etc) * Names cannot contain spaces Any name can be used, no words are reserved. Thanks KiruthikaSambandam |

The syntax rules were described in the previous chapters: * XML documents must have a root element * XML elements must have a closing tag * XML tags are case sensitive * XML elements must be properly nested * XML attribute values must be quoted <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <note> <to>XXX</to> <from>YYY</from> <heading>Example</heading> <body>Well Formed XML Documents</body> </note> |
