RE: Difference between XML and HTML
 
XML
 
XML stands for Extensible Markup Language
• XML is a markup language much like HTML
• XML was designed to carry data,
• XML tags are not predefined.
• XML is designed to be self-descriptive.
• XML is a W3C Recommendation

HTML

HTML - short for Hypertext Markup Language
 It provides a means to describe the structure of text-based information in a document by denoting certain text as headings, paragraphs, lists, and to supplement that text with interactive forms, embedded images, and other objects.

• Publish online documents with headings, text, tables, lists, photos,
• Retrieve online information via hypertext links, at the click of a button.
• Design forms for conducting transactions with remote services, for use in searching for information, making reservations, ordering products.

• Include spread-sheets, video clips, sound clips, and other applications directly in their documents.
