This section provides a quick introduction of XML (eXtensible Markup Language), a markup language for organizing information in text files.
XML (eXtensible Markup Language): A markup language for organizing information in text files.
XML File: A text file that contains information organized in a structure
that meets XML standards.
XML can also be viewed as a meta-language for defining more specific markup languages,
because it only specifies the structural rules of unspecified tags that
are used to organize information.
One can easily extend XML to define a specific markup language by specifying a set
of tags and their structural relations.
Examples of XML-based markup languages include SVG, 3DML, and HRMML.
Here is how to create your first XML file.
1. Use any text editor to enter the
following lines of text into a file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<p>Hello world!</p>
2. Save this file with name: "hello.xml".
Congratulations! You have successfully created an XML file.
