XML Data Conversion

XML ( Extensible Markup Language) is much versatile language than HTML (HyperText Markup Language). XML enables applications that cannot be done in HTML.

HTML is quite limiting. It does not offer very rich semantics to describe a document. XML, on the other hand, allows web designers and developers to build individualized, dynamic sites using complex data elements. It also enables them to access information across databases and types of data without having to rely on a search engine.

XML is robust, logically-verifiable format is based on international standards

Flexibility: XML offers very flexibile options which are not possible in other languages like you can create your own tags and share them with other users.

Scalability: XML is scalable

XML hierarchical structure is suitable for most types of documents

XML is platform-independent, thus relatively immune to changes in technology

XML can be used across platforms: it is a standardized, vendor independent system for presenting data

XML can be validated, that is, it must conform to a grammar or set of rules as presented in the Document Type Declaration (DTD). Such documents are easier to use and re-use than documents, which do not have a structured format for containing tags.

HTML can be easily converted to XML.
