XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a text‑based, structured data format used to store, organize, and transport information in a way that is both human‑readable and machine‑readable. XML uses tags to describe data and its hierarchy, making it flexible for representing complex or nested information.
XML is widely used in systems integration, EDI alternatives, APIs, configuration files, enterprise applications, data interchange between organizations, and legacy supply‑chain systems.
