This article will explain in detail what is the use of XML and HTML for you. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it for you as a reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

XML is designed to describe data and its focus is on the content of the data.

HTML is designed to display data, focusing on the appearance of the data. The basic knowledge that should be mastered:

Before you continue, you need to have a basic understanding of the following knowledge: what is HTML / XHTML JavaScript or VBScript XML? XML refers to Extensible markup language (EXtensible Markup Language) XML is a markup language, much like HTML XML is designed to describe data XML tags are not predefined. You need to define your own label. XML uses a file type declaration (DTD) or XML Schema to describe the data. XML with DTD or XML Schema is designed to be self-descriptive. XML is a W3C standard XML is a W3C standard

Extensible markup language was established as the W3C standard on February 10, 1998. Main differences between XML and HTML

XML is designed to carry data.

XML is not used to replace HTML.

XML and HTML are designed for different purposes:

XML is designed to describe data and its focus is on the content of the data.

HTML is designed to display data, focusing on the appearance of the data.

HTML is designed to display information, while XML is designed to describe information. XML without any behavior

XML is inactive.

It may be a little hard to understand, but XML won't do anything. XML is designed to structure, store, and transmit information.

The following is a note written by Jani to Tove, stored as XML:

ToveJaniReminderDon't forget me this weekend!

This tag has a title and a message. It also contains information about the sender and receiver. However, this XML document still doesn't do anything. It's just pure information wrapped in XML tags. We need to write software or programs to send, receive, and display this document. XML is free and extensible

The XML tag is not predefined. You must "invent" your own label.

The tags used to mark HTML documents and their structures are predefined. Creators of HTML documents can only use tags defined in the HTML standard, such as

、 . ).

XML allows creators to define their own tags and their own document structure.

The tags in the above example are not defined in any of the XML standards. These tags were invented by the author of the XML document. XML is a supplement to HTML

XML is not a substitute for HTML.

It is important for you to understand that XML is not a substitute for HTML. In future Web development, the most likely scenario is that XML will be used to describe data, and HTML will be used to format and display that data.

Our best description of XML is that XML is a cross-platform tool for transmitting information independent of software and hardware. The role of XML in future Web development

XML will be everywhere.

When we see the rapid development of the XML standard and the rapid adoption of the standard by a large number of software developers, we can't help but sigh that it's amazing.

We firmly believe that XML will play no less role in the future of Web than HTML, which has always been the cornerstone of Web, and that XML will become the most commonly used tool for all data processing and data transmission.
