XML

XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a set of rules for encoding documents electronically. It is defined in the XML 1.0 Specification produced by the W3C and several other related specifications; all are fee-free open standards.(Source, wikipedia). It is more concerned on how data is stored on the internet rather how it is displayed (html). The code is recognized by many softwares

Basically, XML is very similar to HTML in many similar ways. They have open and close tags and so on. But in XML, the tags are defined by the user and the always have to be closed as opposed to HTML. The first line will always start with (xml version="") and the tags happen to be case sensitive.

For me, XML is not that tough as the concept is very similar to HTML, a language I learned before. Software like notepad can be used to make this file.

Below is an example of XML,
