XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a flexible way to create common information formats and share both the format and the data on the World Wide Web, intranets, and elsewhere. For example, computer makers might agree on a standard or common way to describe the information about a computer product (processor speed, memory size, and so forth) and then describe the product information format with XML. Such a standard way of describing data would enable a user to send an intelligent agent (a program) to each computer maker's Web site, gather data, and then make a valid comparison. XML can be used by any individual or group of individuals or companies that wants to share information in a consistent way.

10 point from W3c are given below-

1. XML stands for EXtensible Markup Language
2. XML is a markup language much like HTML
3. XML was designed to carry data, not to display data
4. XML tags are not predefined. You must define your own tags
5. XML is designed to be self-descriptive
6. XML was designed to transport and store information.
7. XML was created to structure
8. XML is nothing special. It is just plain text.
9. XML is a complement to HTML. It is not a replacement for HTML
10. XML is a W3C Recommendation
11. XML is everywhere. It is the most common tool for data transmissions between all sorts of applications, and becomes more and more popular in the area of storing and describing information.

well rocky, XML makes it easy for a computer to generate data, read data, and ensure that the data structure is unambiguous. XML avoids common pitfalls in language design: it is extensible, platform-independent, and it supports internationalization and localization. XML is fully Unicode-compliant.

XML is a set of rules for designing text formats that let you structure your data. XML is not a programming language, and you don't have to be a programmer to use it or learn it.
