Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a markup language that defines rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. It was developed by the World Wide Web Consortium and extends SGML. XML is defined by the W3C's XML 1.0 Specification and related specifications, which are free open standards. The design goals of XML emphasize simplicity, generality and usability across the Internet through support of different human languages via Unicode. XML is widely used for representation of arbitrary data structures and several schema systems exist to help define XML-based languages.

Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a markup language that defines a set of rules for
encoding documents in a format which is both human-readable and machine-readable. It is
defined by the W3C's XML 1.0 Specification[2] and by several other related specifications, [3]
all of which are free open standards.[4]
The design goals of XML emphasize simplicity, generality and usability across the Internet.[5]
It is a textual data format with strong support via Unicode for different human languages.
Although the design of XML focuses on documents, it is widely used for the representation
of arbitrary data structures[6] such as those used in web services.
Several schema systems exist to aid in the definition of XML-based languages, while many
application programming interfaces (APIs) have been developed to aid the processing of
XML data.
