## 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.
XML became a W3C Recommendation as early as February, 1998.

## Syntax of XML
XML syntax refers to the rules that determine how an XML application can be written. The XML syntax is very straight forward, and this makes XML very easy to learn.
