## Extensible Markup Language (XML) ## Extensible Markup Language (XML)
XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language. It is extensible, because it does not use a predefined set of tags for identifying structural components; instead, it provides a mechanism for defining such sets of tags. In XML, tags specify meaning rather than presentation, and the main purpose of the language is to share data: XML is a format that is both human- and machine-readable.
