Introduction to XML and XPath

In this lesson, we'll look at an additional DOM structure known as XML, and introduce a distinct yet more efficient approach to traversing XML and HTML documents.

Introduction to XML

XML (Extensible Markup Language) is another markup language used to organize and structure data in a hierarchical format. It is a versatile tool for storing and transmitting information between different systems, platforms, and applications. In contrast to HTML, XML doesn't inherently support data interaction or display. Additionally, formatting is less significant in XML, as the interpreter comprehends the syntax regardless of the format.
