XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a markup language used to store and exchange structured data. It allows information to be organized using custom tags, making it readable by both humans and machines.
XML is commonly used to store, transfer, and organize structured data between different systems. It is widely used in APIs, web services, configuration files, document formats, and enterprise applications.
XML is well-established, flexible, and supported by many applications and technologies. Its structured format makes it useful for exchanging data between systems that require a standardized and extensible data format.
