XML
XML stands for Extensible Markup Language and is a text-based markup language derived from Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML). XML tags identify the data and are used to store and organize the data, rather than specifying how to display it like HTML tags, which are used to display the data. XML is not going to replace HTML in the near future, but it introduces new possibilities by adopting many successful features of HTML. XML can work behind the scene to simplify the creation of HTML documents for large web sites. XML is a markup language that defines set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable.

XML does not qualify to be a programming language as it does not perform any computation or algorithms. It is usually stored in a simple text file and is processed by special software that is capable of interpreting XML.
