Hi All,
If you are a programmer, then XML is not a new term for you.
Extensible Markup Language : Simple and universal data representation format. They can be used to represent any structure or any nested and complicated data structure.
While using on your system typically you transmit your data from one system to another using either a file or some object. As file do not store structure and object are programming language dependent. So, they both have limitation.
To overcome these issues, XML is a better option. XML, like a file stores data in the form of human readable files and also preserves the structure. But a question that is obvious is how to convert a data in program into XML file and vice versa. This typical problem is Serialization and deserialization.
Writing XML using Simple files is fine but deserialization will become difficult. Also both client and server must share their representation which is difficult. Even more challenging is data validation. As the structure becomes complex you will tend to commit sucide..
But Wait.
There is a better and clean way to express yourself. :)
There is a way which allows you to express your XML to program bridge using a representation. Yes, we are talking about Simple XML parser.

More information about this later.. :)
