About XML Formatting

XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. Properly formatted XML improves readability and makes it easier to work with configuration files, web services, data exchange formats, and various applications.

Common XML Use Cases:

  • Configuration files for applications
  • SOAP web services communication
  • Data exchange between different systems
  • RSS and Atom feeds
  • SVG graphics
  • Document formats (like DOCX, XLSX, etc.)
