XML
Extensible Markup Language. A simpler and easier-to-use subset of the Standard Generalized
Markup Language (SGML), with unlimited, self-defining markup symbols (tags). Developed
by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the XML specification provides a flexible way to

intranets, and elsewhere. Designers can create their own customized tags to define, transmit,
validate, and interpret data between applications and between organizations.
