As technology continues to evolve, the storage, sharing, and organization of data have become increasingly important. At this point, XML (Extensible Markup Language) files play a crucial role in carrying and storing structured data. So, what is an XML file, what is it used for, and why is it used so widely? Here are the details you need to know about XML files.
What is XML?
XML is the abbreviation for "Extensible Markup Language." It means "Genişletilebilir İşaretleme Dili" in Turkish. It was developed by W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) and standardized in 1998.
It is a markup language like HTML, but the fundamental difference is that it is used to carry and define data. While HTML focuses on displaying data, XML focuses on describing what the data is.
Basic Features of XML Files
• Contains user-defined tags (e.g., , , ).
• Has a hierarchical (tree structure) data structure.
• Is platform and software independent.
• Supports Unicode character sets like UTF-8 or UTF-16.
• Has a commenting feature ().
• Enables the structuring of data.
What is the Structure of an XML File?
XML files consist of opening and closing tags. Here is a simple example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
Artificial Intelligence 101
Ahmet Demir
89.90
In this example:
• is the main tag.
• Sub tags:
, <author>, <price>.</p>
<p class="text-lg md:text-xl text-gray-800 leading-relaxed font-tiempos">• Each tag has a closing tag (</tag>).</p>
<p class="text-lg md:text-xl text-gray-800 leading-relaxed font-tiempos">• The data is readable and meaningful.</p>

<p class="text-lg md:text-xl text-gray-800 leading-relaxed font-tiempos">XML is ideal for performing data exchange between systems in a standard structure. For example, an e-commerce site can send product information to another system in XML format.</p>

<p class="text-lg md:text-xl text-gray-800 leading-relaxed font-tiempos">XML is used not only for transporting data but also for structuring that data. Developers prefer XML in both web services and local applications. It is especially common in the following areas:</p>
<p class="text-lg md:text-xl text-gray-800 leading-relaxed font-tiempos">• Information transfer between software systems</p>
<p class="text-lg md:text-xl text-gray-800 leading-relaxed font-tiempos">• Mobile application configurations</p>
<p class="text-lg md:text-xl text-gray-800 leading-relaxed font-tiempos">• Data exchange in web applications</p>
<p class="text-lg md:text-xl text-gray-800 leading-relaxed font-tiempos">• Banking and e-invoice systems</p>
<p class="text-lg md:text-xl text-gray-800 leading-relaxed font-tiempos">Additionally, XML files can also be converted to HTML using technologies like XSLT for data presentation to end users. However, it is not as visualization-focused as HTML.</p>

<h3 class="text-xl text-gray-900 pt-4 font-bold font-feature" id="Why are XML files used so widely?"> Why are XML files used so widely? </h3>
<p class="text-lg md:text-xl text-gray-800 leading-relaxed font-tiempos">The main reasons for the widespread use of XML are:</p>
<p class="text-lg md:text-xl text-gray-800 leading-relaxed font-tiempos">• Operating independently of the platform</p>
<p class="text-lg md:text-xl text-gray-800 leading-relaxed font-tiempos">• Readable by both humans and machines</p>
<p class="text-lg md:text-xl text-gray-800 leading-relaxed font-tiempos">• Extensible and customizable tag structure</p>
<p class="text-lg md:text-xl text-gray-800 leading-relaxed font-tiempos">• Being a universal standard for carrying and defining data</p>
<h3 class="text-xl text-gray-900 pt-4 font-bold font-feature" id="What is the difference between XML and HTML?"> What is the difference between XML and HTML? </h3>
<p class="text-lg md:text-xl text-gray-800 leading-relaxed font-tiempos">While HTML describes how data should look (presentation-focused), XML defines what the data is (meaning-focused). In HTML, tags are fixed, while in XML they are user-defined. In short, HTML shows, XML explains.</p>
<h3 class="text-xl text-gray-900 pt-4 font-bold font-feature" id="Why has JSON started to be used instead of XML?"> Why has JSON started to be used instead of XML? </h3>
<p class="text-lg md:text-xl text-gray-800 leading-relaxed font-tiempos">JSON is a data format that takes up less space and works more naturally with JavaScript. Therefore, it offers a faster and more practical solution, especially in web-based applications. However, XML is still used in many systems because it is more suitable for complex data structures and has a stronger schema definition (XSD).</p>
<h3 class="text-xl text-gray-900 pt-4 font-bold font-feature" id="Is XML secure?"> Is XML secure? </h3>
<p class="text-lg md:text-xl text-gray-800 leading-relaxed font-tiempos">XML itself is neither secure nor insecure; however, security vulnerabilities can arise in XML-based systems. Therefore, XML data obtained from external sources should always be validated and filtered before processing. Additionally, precautions should be taken against XML External Entity (XXE) attacks.</p>
<h3 class="text-xl text-gray-900 pt-4 font-bold font-feature" id="Is learning XML difficult?"> Is learning XML difficult? </h3>
<p class="text-lg md:text-xl text-gray-800 leading-relaxed font-tiempos">No. Learning the basics of XML is quite easy because it has a human-readable structure. After learning the basic tag structure, more advanced topics like DTD, XSD, and XPath can be explored.</p>
<h3 class="text-xl text-gray-900 pt-4 font-bold font-feature" id="Which applications use XML?"> Which applications use XML? </h3>
<p class="text-lg md:text-xl text-gray-800 leading-relaxed font-tiempos">XML frequently appears in the following areas:</p>
<p class="text-lg md:text-xl text-gray-800 leading-relaxed font-tiempos">• Web services (especially SOAP)</p>
<p class="text-lg md:text-xl text-gray-800 leading-relaxed font-tiempos">• Android applications</p>
<p class="text-lg md:text-xl text-gray-800 leading-relaxed font-tiempos">• Configuration files</p>
<p class="text-lg md:text-xl text-gray-800 leading-relaxed font-tiempos">• Microsoft Office documents</p>
<p class="text-lg md:text-xl text-gray-800 leading-relaxed font-tiempos">• E-government, e-invoice systems</p>
<p class="text-lg md:text-xl text-gray-800 leading-relaxed font-tiempos">• RSS feeds</p>
<p class="text-lg md:text-xl text-gray-800 leading-relaxed font-tiempos">• Banking and finance systems</p>
<h3 class="text-xl text-gray-900 pt-4 font-bold font-feature" id="How to open an XML document?"> How to open an XML document? </h3>
<p class="text-lg md:text-xl text-gray-800 leading-relaxed font-tiempos">To open an XML file, a text editor such as Notepad, Visual Studio Code, or Sublime Text is sufficient. XML editors or browser extensions can be used for more advanced viewing and validation.</p>
<h3 class="text-xl text-gray-900 pt-4 font-bold font-feature" id="Is XML sufficient on its own?"> Is XML sufficient on its own? </h3>
<p class="text-lg md:text-xl text-gray-800 leading-relaxed font-tiempos">No. XML only defines and carries data. Other tools (e.g., XSLT, XSD, parsers) are needed to process, visualize, or validate that data.</p>
<h3 class="text-xl text-gray-900 pt-4 font-bold font-feature" id="Can an XML file be used instead of a database?"> Can an XML file be used instead of a database? </h3>
<p class="text-lg md:text-xl text-gray-800 leading-relaxed font-tiempos">It can be used in small-scale applications or temporary data storage solutions. However, for large datasets or complex relational structures, XML cannot replace databases. Databases are much stronger in terms of performance, security, and querying capabilities.</p>
<h2 class="text-2xl font-bold text-gray-900 pt-4 font-feature" id="Conclusion"> Conclusion </h2>
<p class="text-lg md:text-xl text-gray-800 leading-relaxed font-tiempos">XML is a powerful, flexible, and platform-independent format for transporting, defining, and structuring data. Its extensible structure allows it to be used in a wide range of fields. It plays an indispensable role, especially in data transfer and configuration needs between systems.</p>
<p class="text-lg md:text-xl text-gray-800 leading-relaxed font-tiempos">Although lighter alternatives like JSON are preferred in many web applications, XML still has a wide usage area, from e-government systems to banking, and from mobile applications to ERP software.</p>
