Abstract

-
The different methods of constructing XML
Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple, tag-based, descriptive language that can be created in any text editor. XML allows users to describe complex, hierarchical data in simple, logical terms. It has become popular because it makes data portable, and disparate development languages and operating systems are transparent to the solution.
