This Extensible Mark-up Language (XML), this very much similar to HTML, it was first designed to carry the data to server or to client side, this is not meant for displaying the data. There are no predefined tags in this, developer need to define their own tags, and unlike HTML is designed to be very much descriptive. And this is also knows as software development and hardware independent tool to carry information.

Data is what rules the web world now a day, data from different sources travelling to different destinations and in N numbers of formats, XML is best suited for this as it helps developer to work on more and more data from different sources. With this XML support multilingual documents and Unicode standards.
