HTML and XML

[jeetendraets]

Hi,

What is the differene between html and xml?

[newsky]

XML is not a replacement for HTML.
XML and HTML were designed with different goals:

XML was designed to describe data and to focus on what data is.
HTML was designed to display data and to focus on how data looks.

HTML is about displaying information, XML is about describing information.

XML and HTML were designed based scripting language but with different goals. HTML is provides a means to describe the structure of text based information in a document and XML was designed to carry data.
