Extensible Markup Language (XML) A simple, very flexible text format derived from SGML (ISO 8879).

Rules:

  • In XML, it is illegal to omit the closing tag.
  • XML tags are case sensitive.
  • Elements must be properly nested.
  • One element per page must be the parent of all other elements, the "root" element.
  • Some characters have a special meaning in XML.
