What is XML?

Q: What is XML?
A: XML--the eXtensible Markup Language--is a self-descriptive, data definition
language. It's similar to HTML, the language of the Web, but it's far more powerful
because it's not limited to a static list of language constructs ("tags") that the
language's authors supply. Instead, XML is extensible and dynamic: Programmers can
define new types of data using XML and then describe that data so that others will know
how to use it.
