The Extensible Markup Language (short XML) is a markup language like HTML but is extensible.[3] It's created by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). XML defines rules for the construction of a document. XML adds context to the information in a document. It does not say how this should be displayed.
Some programs get information out of an XML-document. To do that, they need an API.[4] There are many APIs for XML.
You can write a description of an XML document in a way that is useful for programmers. There are several languages for this; the best known is called DTD.
