Introduction to XML
XML is a markup language that describes data structures. It allows users to define their own tags to structure information in a text file. XML files can be styled via CSS or transformed to other formats using XSLT. The key benefits of XML are that it separates content from presentation, is human-readable, and enables easy data sharing across different applications and platforms.
