 XML is

To me, XML is a great way to go forward. XML stands for extension Markup Language. It is a meta language where by it used to describe some kind of information.

It uses mainly for web services. Basically it gives you output that can be interpreted by other people. For instance, RSS and google sitemap. All of them makes use of XML to communicate with other system.

Definitely a good thing to learn. I suggest you check out www.w3schools.com for basic learning of XML

It's pretty amazing what you can do with XML these days.  Check out the World of Warcraft Site (www.worldofwarcraft.com) and the WoW Armory site (www.wowarmory.com) for some cool examples of XML (and XSL transformation and XSLT stylesheets).

 Re: XML is

indeed, it is a powerful too. If you actually involve in a research project, you would have heard of Electronic Data Exchange. with XML it is increasing easy for B2B to communicate with one another.

In addition, you may have heard the term: semantic web? If you do, that's good for you because XML is a major component in that semantic web.

According to XML is the most powerful way for information exchange over the internet these days around.
It helps us to use a standard format for data exchange which is supported by almost all of the programming languages available and is very powerful too

XML is a very good language that transport very easily to independent plateforms. in most of the language XML is supported.it contains all the date into XML format and transfer very easily to other side. ADO.net uses the XML very efficiently.

A reasonably efficient way of storing certain categories of data. Is very popular for web developers when it comes to exporting information for CMS and makes a good web site map storage container.

XML - i dont know what to say about this great markup Language, without XML there will not be AJAX which is one of the powerful technologies for web programming.
using XML and AJAX you can develop great web application just look at facebook.com and you will see what is the power of this language.
Technically is the same like HTML but with XML you are free to create your own tags and you dont have limits on how many tags you can create.
Young peoples who wants to became an web developer i will suggest them to learn this powerful language and in the same way  they must learn AJAX.
For basic examples about AJAX you can ask me anytime here.

 Re: XML is

From the looks of it you seem to have a fondness for AJAX - do you do mostly webbased development?

 Re: XML is

Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a set of rules for encoding documents in machine-readable form. It is defined in the XML 1.0 Specification[4] produced by the W3C, and several other related specifications, all gratis open standards.[5]

The design goals of XML emphasize simplicity, generality, and usability over the Internet.[6] It is a textual data format with strong support via Unicode for the languages of the world. Although the design of XML focuses on documents, it is widely used for the representation of arbitrary data structures, for example in web services.

Many application programming interfaces (APIs) have been developed that software developers use to process XML data, and several schema systems exist to aid in the definition of XML-based languages.

For me xml is a most user friendly and it is not replacement to html while it is compliment to html.
I think xml is the future for all data transmission and data manipulation over the Web.
