XML
XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a W3C recommendation for generating markup languages for special needs. It is a subtype of SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language) capable of describing various types of data. Its main purpose is to facilitate the sharing of information over the internet. Languages based on XML include XHTML (format for web pages), RDF, SDMX, SMIL, MathML (format for mathematical expressions), NCL, XBRL, XSIL, and SVG (vector graphics format). The main characteristic of XML, creating a single infrastructure for various languages, is that unknown and little-used languages can also be defined without much work and without needing to be submitted to standardization committees.
