    The real reason XML, and some of the other variants of data exchange, such as JSON,SOAP,etc. exist, is because it’s a standard. The problem is, if we want to have a wide range of applications talking to one another in some meaningful fashion, they have to have the same language. What XML tries to do is put information into a very specific, detailed format, so that it can always be read by other applications, assuming the XML produced is valid and well-formed. It’s not necessarily meant for human-reading – it’s meant to be read from one application to another. For instance, look at RSS readers – these are typically XML based, and use the XML feeds from different sites to produce the RSS reader output. Basically, it’s just a set of rules about how to output any sort of data so that other applications can use it.

    XML is used as a cross platform data transferring mode.
    XML contains the data in the form of parent child combination of nodes which are in very simple format that different applications can read this data easily.

  3. Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
