Basic Knowledge
What is XML?
XML is a format that represents data using nested opening and closing tags like "<name>value</name>". It is used in configuration files, data exchange between systems, RSS feeds, sitemaps, and more.
Differences Between XML and JSON
Both are data exchange formats. XML excels in expressiveness with attributes and comments in tags, while JSON is characterized by its concise and lightweight syntax. In recent years, JSON has become the standard for web APIs, while XML continues to be used in document structures and legacy systems.
