Extensible Markup Language

The eXtensible Markup Language (XML) draws on the specification of SGML. Using SGML as the starting point allowed the design team to concentrate on making a proven markup language simpler.

XML 1.0 became a World Wide Web Consortium (or W3C http://www.w3.org) recommendation in February, 1998.
