Difference between the language of html and xml

Hi sweetie. Here is the difference. XML was designed to describe data and to focus on what data is. HTML was designed to display data and to focus on how data looks. Hope that helps. TATA.

You learn from wikipedia links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Html xml is the advancement of html. xml is consists of machine readable instructions. html having hyper texts mainly uses braces.....

I would like before all to demystify them both. They are NOT programming languages at all, there are no instructions and there is no execution at all of any code within them. They both ARE formats to describe DATA. HTML is the standard specification to describe web pages. Their primary function is to provide web browsers with a common way to read and know how to display sites the user want. Among the things HTML covers is the text, images, links, styles and general formating that the browser should display. It works with a predefined (by the specification) set of TAGs that describe each style and special behavior and formatting that the page should have. The key point to HTML is that it has a clear purpose and objective, it solely exists to format web pages. XML is a general purpose language specification whose goal is to describe DATA of any kind in a standard basic format consisting of only plain text characters. It uses tags too, quite similar to what HTML uses, but the great difference is that there is no standard way describing which tags exists. The XML specification only describes what is a tag, the proper formatting and structures of them and their attributes and what constitutes a well-formed XML document. The specifics of what tags are valid and how the data the XML contains is described is responsibility of each application, and each one is free to use whatever tags, attributes, and structures feels convenient as long as it complies with the standard. Looking at both documents (HTML and XML) you'll realize that they're quite similar. In fact, XML is an extension of what HTML does, more generalized to cover many situations. Also you may think about HTML as a particular use case of XML, as the HTML document, when properly wrote, is in fact an well-formed XML document too. But XML goes beyond that, and may be applicable in nearly all situations where programs need to share or store data in a normalized, human readable format.
