XML Tutorial

XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language.

XML is designed to transport and store data, not for displaying or presenting data; HTML is used for displaying data.

XML Example

The first line of an XML document starts with an XML declaration, which describes some information about the document, such as:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

XML defines structure, stores information, and transmits information.

XML Document Example

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<site>
  <name>tutorialpro</name>
  <url>https://www.tutorialpro.org</url>
  <logo>tutorialpro-logo.png</logo>
  <desc>Programming Learning Website</desc>
</site>

<name>, <url>, <logo>, and <desc> are tags that contain the information to be transmitted.

Tags must appear in pairs, with a start tag and an end tag, for example:

• Start tag: <name>
• End tag: </name>
