XML (eXtensible Markup Language)

In short, XML uses tags in angle brackets to mark up content.

In example, <title>News!</title> marks up the text "News!" as "title".

HTML is another example of a markup language, but it is not as strict as XML. XML implies that

  • Tags are always closed
  • The case of tags is significant
