.xml — Extensible Markup Language
W3C · 1998
Cos'è un file .xml?
XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a markup language designed for storing and transporting structured data. Unlike HTML which has predefined tags, XML allows users to define their own tags, making it incredibly flexible for representing any type of data. XML is used in configuration files, data feeds (RSS/Atom), SOAP web services, SVG graphics, and many document formats like DOCX and PPTX (which are XML inside ZIP archives).
