XML
: Extensible Markup Language : A simplified version of SGML
designed to make it easier for people to create and use electronic
documents with new sets of characteristics referred to as document
types. The standard document type for electronic hypertext documents
is HTML. XML by itself is similar to HTML, and XML documents can be
read by most HTML browsers. However, support for the new document
types that XML allows people to create must be added to the browser
software before the browsers can handle them. The promise of XML is
that new types of Internet software can be written to support
capabilities that are beyond HTML, like electronic funds transfers
and sharing raw scientific data. |
