XML Document Format

An XML (eXtensible Markup Language) document is a plain text file used to store and organize data in a structured way. It uses tags, similar to labels, to define different data elements and their relationships, making the information easy to read and share across systems. XML is flexible, allowing users to create custom tags suited to their specific needs. It is widely used for data exchange, configuration files, and document storage because it maintains a clear hierarchy and can be processed by computers and understood by humans.
