XML - Extensible Markup Language allows designers to create their own customized tags, enabling the definition, transmission, validation, and interpretation of data between applications and between organizations. Unlike HTML's focus on just the presentation of information, XML better manages the data and allows presentation in multiple displays (e.g. HTML on a web page or WML on a cell phone, or VoiceXML over a telephone).

XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is the predominant form for interoperable, self-describing data/content, in combination with XML schema definition language. See www.w3.org/XML/. XML has its roots in SGML, the Standard Generalized Markup Language (an ISO standard). The development of XML came about because of perceived limitations in HTML when used as a tool for publishing complex documents on the Web. http://www.w3.org .

XML - Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a structured language, actually a "meta language" that was published as a W3C Recommendation in 1998. It's called a meta language because it's used to describe other languages, the elements they can contain and how those elements can be used. These standardized specifications for specific types of information make them, and the information that they describe, very portable.

Organizations like OASIS and W3C have developed many standards based on XML of particular importance to information security on the Internet, including SAML and WS-Security.

Extensible Mark-up Language (XML) - Extensible Mark-up Language (XML) describes a class of data objects called XML documents which are stored on computers, and partially describes the behaviour of programs that process these objects. XML is a subset or restricted form of SGML, the Standard Generalized Mark-up Language . The goal of XML is to enable generic SGML to be served, received, and processed on the Web in the way that is now possible with HTML. XML has been designed for ease of implementation and for interoperability with both SGML and HTML.
