XML (eXtensible Markup Language) extends the flexibility of SGML to Web page creation
and enables users to define document types that are easy to manage, transmit, and share across the Web. XML removes all dependence on a single document type, and allows users to define their own Web document types. People can create and customize markup languages to exchange information.
Development of XML started in 1996 and has been a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standard since February 1998. W3C is the same organization that manages the HTML standard.
