Introduction to XML

XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a markup language similar to HTML, using tags enclosed with < and > symbols to define elements within a document.
Markup languages control the structure or presentation of data in a file when processed by a suitable application.

Elements of XML Documents

Processing instructions provide information on how to process the XML file, including encoding schemes like 'UTF-8' or 'UTF-16'.

Document Type Declaration (DTD)

Describes document structure, including allowed elements and restrictions.
DTDs can be internal (within the same XML file) or external.

XML Components

XML information set or content: represents the XML document's content, conveyed through elements.
Root element: a single element that encloses all information in an XML document.
Start and end tags: used to define XML elements, with the end tag name matching the start tag name.
XML elements: composed of start and end tags, used to identify and describe data in XML.
Data: can be contained between start and end tags, representing information in a hierarchical structure.
