Difference between HTML and XML

    HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is used to create and design web pages. It’s all about displaying content like text, images, and links on the web. HTML has predefined tags (like <p> for paragraphs or <h1> for headings) that tell the browser how to show the content.

    XML (eXtensible Markup Language), on the other hand, is used for storing and transporting data. It doesn’t have predefined tags like HTML. Instead, you create your own tags to define the data structure, making it flexible for different types of data. XML focuses more on organizing and describing data rather than displaying it.

    • HTML = for displaying content on the web.
    • XML = for storing and transporting data.

    HTML 

     

    HTML is a markup language used for creating webpages. The contents of each webpage are defined by HTML tags. Basicpage tags, such as <head>, <body>, and <div> define sections of the page, while tags such as <table>, <form>, <image>, and <a> define elements within the page.

     

     

    <a href=”http://www.techwyvern.xyz”>techwyven.xyz</a>

    XML

     

    XML is used for storing structured data, rather than formatting information on a page. While HTML documents use predefined tags (like the examples above), XML files use custom tags to define elements. For example, an XML file that stores information about computer models may include the following section:

     

     

    <computer>

    <manufacturer>Dell</manufacturer>
    <model>XPS 17</model>
    <components>
    <processor>2.00 GHz Intel Core i7</processor>
    <ram>6GB</ram>
    <storage>1TB</storage>
    </components>
    </computer>
