XML : Extensible Market Language
Assalamualaikum!
Alhamdulillahirrabil alamin.
Gratitude we bid to Allah because giving us
another opportunity to live on this earth to worship Him
This week we learned about Extensible Market Language (XML). Basically, XML is use to transport and store data and focus on what data is. Sometimes people confused XML with HTML. XML is not a replacement for HTML but both of them use a similar language. XML also can be described as a software and hardware independent tool for carrying information.
Differences between HTML and XML
| HTML | XML |
| designed to display data | designed to transport and store data |
| focus on how data looks | focus on what data is |
| displaying information | carrying information |
Example :
Input
<note>
<to>Amirul</to>
<from>Anas</from>
<heading>Greeting</heading>
<body>Welcome to the new mahallah!</body>
</note>
Output
To: Amirul
From: Anas
Greeting: Welcome to the new mahallah!
