This guide explains what XML is, how it's used, and where
it fits into the world of Web services. Here you will find XML articles, tutorials,
examples, tips, tools, white papers, expert advice and more to increase
your XML knowledge and understanding. XML (Extensible Markup
Language) is a flexible way to create common information
formats
and
then consistenly share both the format and the data on the WWW,
intranets,
and elsewhere. Using a standard way of describing
data, as XML allows, enables users to send an
intelligent
agent (a program) to a target, such as a web site, gather
data, make a comparison of the data, and then send
back
results to the user..
