XML
Extensible Markup Language. A markup language that allows you to define the tags (markup) needed to identify the content, data, and text, in XML documents. It differs from HTML the markup language most often used to present information on the internet. HTML has fixed tags that deal mainly with style or presentation. An XML document must undergo a transformation into a language with style tags under the control of a stylesheet before it can be presented by a browser or other presentation mechanism. Two types of style sheets used with XML are CSS and XSL . Typically, XML is transformed into HTML for presentation. Although tags may be defined as needed in the generation of an XML document, a Document Type Definition ( DTD ) may be used to define the elements allowed in a particular type of document. A document may be compared with the rules in the DTD to determine its validity and to locate particular elements in the document. J2EE deployment descriptors are expressed in XML with DTDs defining allowed elements. Programs for processing XML documents use SAX or DOM APIs. J2EE deployment descriptors are expressed in XML.

Multimedia Glossary
XML
(Extensible Markup Language) XML is younger sister to hypertext markup language (HTML ). The difference is that XML is a "metadata language", i.e. it carries information about information. XML allows reuse of learning objects, and assembly of objects on demand as a learner asks for information. XML also allows the same learning object -- for example, a definition with a test question about the definition -- to change with context. Some sites to check for information about XML include:

Extensible Markup Language
The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a subset of SGML. Its goal is to enable generic SGML to be served, received, and processed on the Web in the way that is now possible with HTML XML has been designed for ease of implementation and for interoperability with both SGML and HTML.
Extensible Markup Language, abbreviated XML, describes a class of data objects called XML documents and partially describes the behavior of computer programs which process them. XML is an application profile or restricted form of SGML, the Standard Generalized Markup Language (ISO 8879). By construction, XML documents are conforming SGML documents.
XML documents are made up of storage units called entities, which contain either parsed or unparsed data. Parsed data is made up of characters, some of which form character data, and some of which form markup. Markup encodes a description of the document's storage layout and logical structure. XML provides a mechanism to impose constraints on the storage layout and logical structure.

Glossary of Computer and Internet Terms
XML
Stands for "Extensible Markup Language." (Yes, technically it should be EML). It is a web development format for defining specialized markup languages which can be used to transmit data that is formatted for a specific purpose. Get all that? Basically, XML is related to the hyper-text markup language (HTML), but it isn't really a markup language. It's more of a meta-language, which is a language used to create other specialized languages. Though XML is a rather new concept, it has already gained a lot of support from web developers. Don't be surprised if you see XML replacing HTML in the future.

XML Definition from Encyclopedia Dictionaries & Glossaries

Wikipedia English - The Free Encyclopedia
XML
The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a general-purpose markup language. It is classified as an extensible language because it allows its users to define their own tags. Its primary purpose is to facilitate the sharing of structured data across different information systems, particularly via the Internet. It is used both to encode documents and serialize data. In the latter context, it is comparable with other text-based serialization languages such as JSON and YAML.
