Lecture Reflection-WEEK 2 - XML

During this week we studied XML. XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language and is similar to html except it is a more cleaner as the tags within XML must be nested properly. XML is the basis for XHTML which stands for Extensible Hyper Text Markup Language. It is almost identical to HTML 4.02 except XHTML is a stricter and cleaner version of HTML.
XML is a meta markup language, meaning that it allows you to make up the tags as opposed to html, which only allows predefined tags. Another good aspect of XML due to its simplicity in design, is that it is readable by nearly all people and applications.
We also covered “XIML “which is an XML –based interface representation language. We also covered “XUL” which is Mozilla’s XML-based user interface language.
