XML is an eXtensible Markup Language It is derived from HTML (HyperText Markup Language), but is much more rigorous It is not really a language, but a data format. XML is a universally defined, human readable, extensible data format. It is ideal for data interchange between two processes.

Documents –XML separates a document into 3 parts: XSD – schema – defines the rules for the structure of the document XML – the actual data of the document (no formatting rules – just hints). XSLT – the rules for presenting the document

Allowable element usage. Allowable element and attribute values including –Type of value (number, string, date, …) –Range of values (positive integer, >5, <=100.1…) –Choices of values (“pump”,”valve”,”pipe”,…) –Pattern of values (“###-###-####”,”#####-####”…)
