Abstract

XML or eXtensible Markup Language, provides a foundation for document systems and protocols.

The primary purpose of XML is to facilitate the sharing of structured data across different information systems over internet. It is used both to encode documents and to serialize data.

From a language perspective, XML operates on two levels

• syntax for document markup (reprentation)
• syntax for declaring structures of documents (grammar)
