XML
development comes handy in areas like data
interchange, document management and dynamic client
data viewing and processing. Further, with XML programming,
searching for data also becomes easier and more precise,
since one can search across both structured and unstructured
data.
The XML development of applications in XML
language helps delivering customized Internet content
to viewers, with their own choice of formatting and
information structure. Since this all happen on the
local copy of the document, the time lag is minimized,
leading to a faster and better Internet experience
with XML.
XML stands for "Extensible Markup
Language", and is a standard for describing data
in a structured manner on Web Pages and business documents,
as defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
XML has tags similar to HTML, but is actually a simpler
subset of SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language).
Development in XML can be termed a meta-language for
describing markup languages. While HTML focuses more
on how the data is displayed, XML programming is "human-readable”.Quite
contrary to predefined tags, XML application development
is "extensible" or it allows unlimited tags
to be defined by the page creator. Moreover, it is
the XML schema that holds the content type and names
for the XML tags. XML and XML tags are applied in
web application development, programming and contracting
services, and they create web pages that can function
both like database records and like normal web pages
that are displayed.
Since XML provides for identification, interchange,
validation and interpretation of data between organizations
and applications, XML programming is very helpful
in electronic data interchange or EDI. When for a
specific class of products a common vocabulary of
XML application is decided upon, it becomes easy to
have common information formats and data descriptions,
which can be handy in intelligent data collection
and comparison. XML language can simply be clubbed
with both HTML and SGML.
Both HTML and XML are supposed to
be used together in web applications, though XML per
se is less tolerant of coding errors. One can find
the extensive use of XML application development,
programming and contracting services in a variety
of web applications and services. In addition, XML
application can be used in medical charts/ records,
e-commerce ordering, banking and legal documents.
When compared to the alternatives
of HTML and SGML, XML programming is the ideal option
for structured web content. Though XML will not replace
SGML in large complex document creation and storage
systems, it is more likely that SGML to XML conversion
will be useful for such content delivery.
Further, push technology gets more
effective in XML development. The language
is used in push technology wireless application development
services, for example, WAP is an XML-based protocol.
Microsoft's Channel Definition Format (CDF) is another
push technology where XML found early use.
