what is the difference between HTML and XML?

please tell me solid differences between HTML and XMl.

 

It is very easier to tell you the similarity between HTML and XMl, than the differences. Read these articles and I think you'll understand the differences between HTML and XMl.

XML is great at describing the data you are handling. HTML is better at describing the structure of the data you are displaying. Originally for HyperText, that is, linking between documents. Extended Markup (XML) expands on that by allowing far more flexibility in describing document content. HTML is more rigid than XML, restricting itself to a defined set of elements while, in XML, you can define whatever you want. XML has its own programming language, XSLT, that can transform any XML into any other XML, including HTML. This means you can do wonderful things like, in your own data file, have this:

<myrecipes>
<recipe>cake</recipe>
<recipe>pie</recipe>
</myrecipes>

Code (markup):

but transform it into displayable HTML for the browser as:

<h1>My Recipes</h1>
<ul>
<li>Cake</li>
<li>Pie</li>
</ul>

Code (markup):

 

The main difference between HTML and XML is that HTML has predefined elements and attributes whose behavior is well specified, while XML does not work. Instead, document authors to create their own XML words that are specific to their application or business needs. XML vocabulary is currently a wide range of industries and applications from financial applications.
Another difference between HTML and XML is that XML introduces the concept of regular Ness. Normal Ness XML to eliminate some of the ambiguities inherent in the transformation of markup languages such as HTML implementation of standards, such as radio frequencies, which all attributes are enclosed in quotation marks.

 

XML and HTML were designed with different goals:

XML was designed to transport and store data, with focus on what data is
HTML was designed to display data, with focus on how data looks

HTML is about displaying information, while XML is about carrying information.

 

Hello..........

Here are some differences between HTML and XML

1) HTML is a presentation language while XML is neither programing nor presentation language.
2) HTML is used to design a website while XML is use to transfer the data two application
3) HTML only defines the data where as XML describes the data.

HTML is NOT a presentation language.

HTML doesn't define anything. It describes the structure of the document only.

 

Doesn't HTML Hold the content of the pages, and CSS handles the designing, as in styling of the page? I don't know anything about XML, but that is what I know about HTML/CSS

 

Yes.....................

 

HTML is the hyper text transfer language and it is so simple language, you can learn it in some time.With the help of html you can create website in a simple manner. for this you have to know about some tags for html.
XML is the extensible markup language... and you can learn html and xml easily from w3schools.com...

 

It is not. HTTP is but that's not a language either.

In html
What is diffirence between Hyper-link and anchor tags
pls........

 

Can anyone explain it to me in further detail?

 

A hyper link is a normal website link that will take you to the top of the intended webpage. An anchor tag is used to link to a specific place within a page...

Example:
hyperlink - www.website.com -> website.com homepage
anchor tag - www.website.com/page.html#money -> website.com page named page and the section in the page they have titled money and placed anchor on.

 

Hi dear
There are many deference between HTML and XML.
1. XML is not Predefined but HTML is Predefined.
2. XML is xtensible Markup Language but HTML is Hyper Text Markup Language.
3.HTML was designed to display data but XML is about carrying information.
4.xml is case sensitive but HTML is not case sensitive.
5.The xtention of the HTML .html/.htm but the extention of the XML id .xml.

 

It amazes me that, on DP alone, answers to questions like these last months and years and still contain little to no information (or even correct answers).

 

HTML is the Hyper Text Markup Language and XML is the Extensible Markup Language.XML is not a replacement for HTML.

XML and HTML were designed with different goals-

XML was designed to transport and store data.
HTML was designed to display data.

 

See what I mean?

 

An XML file is good for universal storage of data.. you can process it to generate flat files, access files, or SQL files.

 

Well stated sir.

Yep, this thread is going places lol...
