XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a general-purpose specification for creating custom markup languages A markup language is a system for annotating a text in a way which is syntactically distinguishable from that text. Examples include revision instructions by editors, traditionally written with a blue pencil on authors' manuscripts, typesetting instructions such those found in troff and LaTeX, and structural markers such as XML tags. Markup is.[1] The term extensible is used to indicate that a markup-language designer has significant freedom in the choice of markup elements.[2]
XML's goals[3] emphasize representing documents with simplicity, generality, and usability over the Internet The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standardized Internet Protocol Suite . It is a network of networks that consists of millions of private and public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope that are linked by copper wires, fiber-optic cables, wireless connections, and. XML has been used as the basis for a large number (at least hundreds) of custom-designed languages.[4] Some of these, for example RSS RSS is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated works—such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video—in a standardized format. An RSS document (which is called a "feed", "web feed", or "channel") includes full or summarized text, plus metadata such as publishing dates and authorship, Atom (standard) The name Atom applies to a pair of related standards. The Atom Syndication Format is an XML language used for web feeds, while the Atom Publishing Protocol is a simple HTTP-based protocol for creating and updating web resources, and XHTML The Extensible Hypertext Markup Language, or XHTML, is a markup language that has the same depth of expression as HTML, but also conforms to XML syntax, have become widely used on the Internet. XML is becoming the default file format for office-productivity software packages, including Microsoft Office Microsoft Office is an office suite of interrelated desktop applications, servers and services for the Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X operating systems. Microsoft Office was introduced by Microsoft in 1989 for the Mac OS, with a version for Windows in 1990. Initially a marketing term for a bundled set of applications, the first version of Office, OpenOffice.org OpenOffice.org , commonly known as OpenOffice, is an office application suite available for a number of different computer operating systems. It is distributed as free software and written using the VCL toolkit. It supports the ISO/IEC standard OpenDocument Format (ODF) for data interchange as its default file format, as well as Microsoft Office, AbiWord AbiWord is a free software word processor. The name "AbiWord" is derived from the root of the Spanish word "abierto", meaning "open". It runs on Linux, Mac OS X (PowerPC), Microsoft Windows, ReactOS, BeOS (unsupported), AmigaOS 4.0 (through its Cygnix X11 engine), and other operating systems, and Apple Apple Inc. is an American multinational corporation that designs and manufactures consumer electronics and computer software products. The company's best-known hardware products include Macintosh computers, the iPod and the iPhone. Apple software includes the Mac OS X operating system, the iTunes media browser, the iLife suite of multimedia and's iWork Pages incorporates a media browser for inserting pictures, music, and video from iPhoto, iTunes, and iMovie. Pages allows the user to save or import formats including:.
XML is recommended A W3C Recommendation is the final stage of a ratification process of the World Wide Web Consortium working group concerning the standard. This designation signifies that a document has been subjected to a public and W3C-member organization's review. It aims to standardise the Web technology. It is the equivalent of a published standard in many by the World Wide Web Consortium The World Wide Web Consortium is the main international standards organization for the World Wide Web (abbreviated WWW or W3). It is arranged as a consortium where member organizations maintain full-time staff for the purpose of working together in the development of standards for the World Wide Web. As of June 2009, the W3C had 388 members (W3C). It is a fee-free open standard The terms "open" and "standard" have a wide range of meanings associated with their usage. The term "open" is usually restricted to royalty-free technologies while the term "standard" is sometimes restricted to technologies approved by formalized committees that are open to participation by all interested. The recommendation specifies lexical grammar In computer science, a lexical grammar can be thought of as the syntax of tokens. That is, the rules governing how a character sequence is divided up into subsequences of characters, each part of which represents an individual token and parsing In computer science and linguistics, parsing, or, more formally, syntactic analysis, is the process of analyzing a text, made of a sequence of tokens , to determine its grammatical structure with respect to a given (more or less) formal grammar requirements.
