What are the Basic Features and Advantages of XML?

XML Separates Data from HTML

If you need to display dynamic data in your HTML document, you will have to work hard to edit it every time the data changes. With XML, data can be stored in separate XML files. This way, you can use HTML for display and editing.

XML Simplifies Data Exchange

Both computer systems and databases contain information in incompatible formats.

XML data is stored in plain text format, which gives us a standalone way to store data. This makes it much easier to create data that can be shared by different applications.

XML Simplifies Data Exchange

One of the most difficult challenges for developers is exchanging data between incompatible systems over the Internet. Exchanging data as XML greatly reduces this complexity because data can be read by different incompatible applications.

XML Simplifies Platform Switching

Upgrading to new systems (hardware or software platforms) takes a long time. Large amounts of data must be converted, and incompatible data is often lost.

XML data is stored in text format. This makes it easy to expand or upgrade to new information systems, new applications, or new browsers without data loss.

Improves XML Data Availability

Different applications can access your data not only in HTML pages, but also in XML data sources.

With ML, your data can be used in any 'reading machine'. (handheld computers, sound machines, news feeds, etc.)

XML Can Be Used To Create New Internet Languages

Many new languages ​​on the Internet have been created with XML. Here are some examples:

• XHTML;
• WSDL;
• WAP and WML;
• RSS (used in news);
• RDF and OWL;
• SMIL.
