    XML is eXtensible Markup Language, which allows user defined tags. The properties of XML are used to represent unstructured data.

    An XML file is basically the data it contains enclosed in tags. This data is to be validated and parsed using an XML parser, which can be standalone or embedded inside a prgramming language.

    XML is also used to transfer data across networks which demand data from databases. Giving direct access to databases via drivers may attract hackers. To avoid this, the server reads the database, creates the XML file and sends it over the network. This keeps the rest of the database unvulnerable.

    The above answer has some very useful links.

    XML is the language that all web developers are gearing towards. XHTML is the new XML version of HTML. It is very similar to the original but has a few formatting differences in order to standardize it with XML, so that browsers will be able to display pages more uniformly. XML is best known for it’s usage in RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds, which contains news content so people can access it in a variety of ways.
